      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.
  
                     The dragons which appear in early paintings and

               kind of serpent or reptile, sometimes to land serpents
               of a powerful and deadly kind. It is also applied
