Dragons are awesome!
Seriously, how great are dragons?
Although my fursona is a vixen I have a great love of dragons, proving you don't have to be a scalie to appreciate them!
This thread is for dragons and their friends to post anything cool about dragons.
No doubt I was exposed to lots of draconic imagery growing up but the first things that really struck with awe where probably these:

And the poem from the Hobbit 'Far over the misty mountains[size=78%]'[/size]
[/size]
[/size]Far over the misty mountains cold[size=78%]
[/size]To dungeons deep, and caverns old[size=78%]
[/size]We must away ere break of day[size=78%]
[/size]To seek the pale enchanted gold.[size=78%]
[/size]The dwarves of yore made mighty spells,[size=78%]
[/size]While hammers fell like ringing bells[size=78%]
[/size]In places deep, where dark things sleep,[size=78%]
[/size]In hollow halls beneath the fells.[size=78%]
[/size]For ancient king and elvish lord,[size=78%]
[/size]There many a gleaming golden hoard[size=78%]
[/size]They shaped and wrought, and light they caught[size=78%]
[/size]To hide in gems on hilt of sword.[size=78%]
[/size]On silver necklaces they strung[size=78%]
[/size]The flowering stars, on crowns they hung[size=78%]
[/size]The dragon-fire, in twisted wire[size=78%]
[/size]They meshed the light of moon and sun.[size=78%]
[/size]Far over the misty mountains cold[size=78%]
[/size]To dungeons deep and caverns old[size=78%]
[/size]We must away, ere break of day,[size=78%]
[/size]To claim our long-forgotten gold.[size=78%]
[/size]Goblets they carved there for themselves[size=78%]
[/size]And harps of gold; where no man delves[size=78%]
[/size]There lay they long, and many a song[size=78%]
[/size]Was sung unheard by men or elves.[size=78%]
[/size]The pines were roaring on the height,[size=78%]
[/size]The winds were moaning in the night.[size=78%]
[/size]The fire was red, it flaming spread;[size=78%]
[/size]The trees like torches blazed with light.[size=78%]
[/size]The bells were ringing in the dale[size=78%]
[/size]And men looked up with faces pale;[size=78%]
[/size]Then dragon's ire more fierce than fire[size=78%]
[/size]Laid low their towers and houses frail.[size=78%]
[/size]The mountain smoked beneath the moon;[size=78%]
[/size]The dwarves, they heard the tramp of doom.[size=78%]
[/size]They fled their hall to dying fall[size=78%]
[/size]Beneath his feet, beneath the moon.[size=78%]
[/size]Far over the misty mountains grim[size=78%]
[/size]To dungeons deep and caverns dim[size=78%]
[/size]We must away, ere break of day,[size=78%]
[/size]To win our harps and gold from him![size=78%]
