"Dragon" is a regal and good name in Chinese / Korean cultures.
Dragons are considered as dangerous as the Ocean, a Wind, or a
Mountain ... in other words, respect it and your village can live in
harmony with a dragon as a neighbour.
It is European folklore that feared and hunted Dragons, not Asian.
(I Role Play Hagrid in another group , so I did my homework on
Dragons, plus several other Magical Creatures)
PS. Not everyone is complimented by being called a Dragon. Use
sparingly ... lol.
