Throughout history, Dragons have been considered a magical creature. Some are good, others evil, but all have a sense of age and distinction about them. It is no wonder then, that dragons are a must have for any Fantasy story.

From the Norwiegen epic Beowulf written millenia ago, to Lord of the Rings written only a short 60 years ago now, Dragons have obsessed our imaginations with their amazingly sharp teeth, jagged tails, and impenatrable scales of colors ranging the entire spectrum of both Visible and Ultraviolet lights. They are certainly amazing creatures to speculate about. Thus many books have been written including these magical animals. Some include:
