Although they are usually associated with Asia, dragons can be found also in fairy tales and folklore all over the world, including Celtic Ireland.
The Celtic dragon has been a creature of myth and legend for centuries throughout the Celtic world and it represents sovereignty, power or a chief (the Celtic word for "chief" is Pendragon ) also it is a symbol of wisdom, associated with magic and mysticism. Physical appearance of Celtic dragons in Celtic mythology was more consistent with the Eastern or Greek dragons and worms, which are having long bodies, without legs and wings and are possessing poisonous bites or stinging spines.
