First off, this thread was inspired by Flare and is all about dragons. Their roles in myths, the inspiration behind their varied appearance, which ones are your favourites, etc. To start off, I'd like to know what everyone's favourite dragons are in general media, be it a show, book, game or whatever. Just so you know, this includes things similar to dragons such as wyverns and giant serpents, who often feature similar traits.
Since I prefer the European style of dragon but with intelligence, I liked the dragons in Eragon, especially Saphira. Another dragon I like is the one from Spirited Away.
One thing I find interesting about dragons is that they're largely inspired by dinosaur fossils people found before they really understood what the complete skeleton would look like. From there, the details of their appearance and what they represented largely varied from one culture to another.
Feel free to post any images or artwork of dragons you think look interesting and remember that I'm using the term dragon quite broadly and loosely.

<3 And I do love the four-legged Smaug concept art. I wouldn't have minded him looking that way either in the movies.
