Friend or foe, monster or ally they have been represented in so many forms. My view of dragons leans predominantly toward ally; intelligent, magical creatures, but not necessarily viewing us as their equals.
There are many stories that incorporate dragons, some of my favorites are:
- The Dragon Riders of Pern, a series of books by Anne McCaffrey
- The Invisible Library Series by Genevieve Cogman
- The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
