Anecdotal evidence is not proof. And I would say that your definition
of a dragon is somewhat differentr than the the generally accepted one.
Dragon \Drag"on\, n. [F. dragon, L. draco, fr. Gr. ?, prob. fr.
?, ?, to look (akin to Skr. dar? to see), and so called from
its terrible eyes. Cf. Drake a dragon, Dragoon.]
1. (Myth.) A fabulous animal, generally represented as a
monstrous winged serpent or lizard, with a crested head
and enormous claws, and regarded as very powerful and
ferocious.
