WARNING SPOILER ALERT!!!
without bashing religion too much, here goes...
the fact it was written long time ago, before believing that the world was round and thinking they'd fall off if they went to far... let's assume they're ignorance. describing, re-enacting things, relating experiences etc, tends to lead to exaggeration so talk of dinosaurs and fire breathing is simply a venomous bite... they cant explain why their skin bubbling up, burning pain, melting/deteriorating flesh so they come up with firebreathing... fear with paralysis, was the creature so scary looking (then again back in the days serpents and reptiles were huge so that can be plausible), was most likely neurotoxins.

I believe that hemotoxins are actually the ones that affect tissue since neurotoxins affect the nervous system. Anyhow, the idea of a spherical Earth arises around 700BC, and since much of writing about dragons takes place after that Im not sure the ingorance arguement quite works here. I can agree that I think dragons were made up by people that dont know better but why not take lesson form earlier in the thread and just leave religion out if it entirely?
i was referring neurotoxins in regards to paralysis, perhaps my wording or grammar is off. the idea of a spherical earth did arise in greece around 700bc, as for it being widely accepted took much longer without the internet, this was merely stating there was once a time the world was considered flat and that people were naive in some perspective... sorry ignorance was the wrong would to use.
For the religion part, my bad, it was in referrence to the bible post/link of dragon used in writing.
misinterpretatio /perspective on what was written seems to happen a lot in written words.... as seen here.
have a good day

No worries, I just didnt want mods to crack down since even mentioning the word religion can be a powder keg, but I get your point
I believe that dragons had to exist in some form.
How can you explain the fact that there were dragons in so many isolated different cultures? The mayans had a feathered dragon god(I can't really spell his name well, quezlquatl or something of the like), almost all Asian cultures held dragons to be of good fortune, and eventually to represent nobility. European dragons(though viewed to be inherantly evil/malevolent) are in literature throught history. The only thing truly missing for me is the physical proof(fossils) that they existed.
So if someone asked me if I thought dragons were/are real, I would say its plausible.
I have also read in a book that dragons are real, even today, and they existed in the physical world until they became tired of dealing with humans, so they went to the astral plane... *shrugs*
