Etymology
dragon is a legendary creature, typically with serpentine or reptilian traits, which is featured in the myths of many cultures.
ADragon types in Final Fantasy are typically inspired by Dungeons & Dragons. Lung dragons in Dungeons & Dragons are based upon Chinese and Japanese dragons, and are spirits that embody and empower aspects of nature rather than being normal, physical creatures. Most lung dragons don't have breath weapons, but use spell-like abilities.
