What do you think of dragons? Are they fierce, defensive, docile or something else entirely?

Every animal when tamed into submission thru love is docile and thus can be trained. altho dragons are fierce and since the very ancient times we have known them as fierce and wild but I think if u had a baby dragon with u and it wud have got ur love and training I don't think they wud have been wild they wud surely have followed ur instructions. But wild animals are wild when they do come across their own kind even if they are tamed. U will c the same thing when cats or any animal for that matter marks his or her own territory with their piss.

It depends on which type of dragon you are talking about. My son's little Chinese water dragon is very skittish but not when it comes to feeding time. She takes those little crickets right out of his hand. She's to small to bite and do much harm. But this iguana "dragon" I met recently scratched me and tried to bite me when my friend's son said it wouldn't hurt. HA! It's three and a half feet long and it hurts. My son won't be getting one of those. As a fantasy creature I think the dragon is what the eye of the beholder makes it to be, weather good and wise or a nasty fire breathing creature. I happen like dragons. I picture them as protectors. Even though the dragon is portrayed in the bible as a bad creature waiting to eat a baby as soon as it was born.
One can make the dragon anything you want it to be, bad or good or in-between.

Depending on the culture, dragons are perceived as good or evil.
Regarding "real" dragons: In Revelation (last book of the Bible), there's a verse which reads, "And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and satan, and bound him for a thousand years..."
Regarding dragons in stories, I always liked the depiction of the dragon Smaug in JRR Tolkien's The Hobbit, or the dragon Yevaud in Ursula LeGuin's The Wizard of Earthsea.
These dragons are powerful, fierce when aroused, intensely possessive of their gold hoards, and have the odd quirk of vanity and other exploitable (though dangerous) weaknesses.

Considering that there are some sort of dragon legend in just about every culture in the world, I do believe that they existed in some form or another. Perhaps left over from the dinosaurs and I tend to view them as protectors.

Since they are imaginary creatures, they can be anything one wishes them to be.
I think there could be fierce ones and docile ones but always protective.....like dogs!

Dragons do not exist so therefore, I have no thoughts toward them.
Dragon artwork is very cool though.

I like the Chinese image of dragons as symbols of luck and fortune.

they are real, and can't breath fire, can fly, won't attack unless theres a reason, later they were tamed by master animal tamers, then sold to evil people, and used to pillage towns, dragons are good, but later turned evil because of man

believe that our ancestors called what we term in modern times dinosaurs dragons. therefore dragons did exist but we just changed their names.
