Dragon from unknown world.
Origin:
Dragons have been a part of a majority of mythologies throughout the world. In western Society the dragon is depicted as a huge four legged, winged and horned creature capable of breathing fire ( Similar to Smaug featured in the movie Hobbit).
In Eastern Mythology they are described as huge serpentine creatures with no wings but has four legs ( Similar to shenron featured in a TV cartoon Dragon ball Z). If we look in today's world Comodo Dragon and Crocodile very much resembles the dragon described in myths.
If we look into the eastern myths, the dragon is seen as a legendary creature and is associated with good fortune and blessing of gods and demigods. This was so serious out there that at a particular period of history only the emperors and members of the high societies where only allowed to have dragon pictured on the house, clothing or particular articles.
Fun Fact:

Interestingly the dragon costumes can be as long as thousands of meters actually the world record for the longest dragon costume is 5605 meters.
