So many of to
day’s myths were once legend, and I wonder if they have a basis in some ancient past. I wonder if real dragons once roamed the earth. Did the story of dragons begin with the sighting of dinosaurs?

The Opaleye is a medium-sized dragon, often weighing 2-3 tonnes. It was iridescent, pearly scales and pupil-less eyes that match, making it widely known as the most beautiful dragon around. It is not incredibly aggressive and produces a scarlet flame. Opaleyes prefer to eat sheep.* http://www.hp-lexicon.org/bestiary/dragons.html
