I also like to think of what originally started these mythological monsters and like to think that they may have begun as descriptions of actual yet rare animals. There must have been plenty of strange animals that humans encountered as they migrated to new lands. It makes perfect sense that as they passed on what they had seen to others who hadn't that the descriptions might evolve over time to become very different from the original viewer's experience. great series of blog posts by the way!

Black. I adore the spiderwick books and Ive recammended them to everyone in my family. I have to thank you especially, since your blog about dragons has helped my ADV. Illustration book project a great deal. My project was to create a childrens book and so I took a classic french tale of a dragon and adapted it. I was having the hardest time designing an aquatic dragon until I saw the "Arthur Spiderwick's field guide to the fantastic world around you". I bought it and immediatly became a fan. Luckly I stumbled onto this page right at the begining of your dragon blog...THanks for the insperation and helping me gain the courage to break out of the stereo typical dragon mold! fan and fellow illustrator, Kevin Cannarile I have to say thank’s to both you and mrs.
