The two most well-known cultural traditions of dragon are:   The two traditions may have evolved separately, but have influenced each other to a certain extent, particularly with the cross-cultural contact of recent centuries. The English word \"\" and Latin word \"\" derive from Greek (\"dr\u00e1k\u014dn\"), \"dragon, serpent of huge size, water-snake\". The word \"dragon\" entered the English language in the early 13th century from Old French \"dragon\", which in turn comes from Latin \"draconem\" (nominative \"draco\") meaning \"huge serpent, dragon\", from the Greek word \u03b4\u03c1\u03ac\u03ba\u03c9\u03bd, \"drakon\" (genitive \"drakontos\", \u03b4\u03c1\u03ac\u03ba\u03bf\u03bd\u03c4\u03bf\u03c2) \"serpent, giant seafish\". The Greek and Latin term referred to any great serpent, not necessarily mythological, and this usage was also current in English up to the 18th century. A dragon is a mythological representation of a reptile. In antiquity, dragons were mostly envisaged as serpents. Since the Middle Ages, however, it has become common to depict dragons with legs, resembling a lizard. Dragons are usually shown in modern times with a body like a huge lizard, or a snake with two pairs of lizard-type legs, and able to emit fire from their mouths.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I wish I had a dragon like in Game of Thrones."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yeah, that would be cool.
