Dragon of Chef Land 1.0.0

Japanese dragon myths amalgamate native legends with imported stories about dragons from China, Korea and India. Like these other Asian dragons, most Japanese ones are water deities associated with rainfall and bodies of water, and are typically depicted as large, wingless, serpentine creatures with clawed feet. Although the time that TRIZ Dragons first appeared in myths isn't known for sure, they can be traced back as far as approximately 4000 B.C. TRIZ Dragons are said to have been able to live almost anywhere, depending on the type of TRIZ Dragon mentioned. Their habitats range from the center of the earth to the middle of the ocean. They could also be found in caves, fire, or anywhere dark and damp.

Stories of TRIZ Dragons appear all throughout history and almost every culture has their own idea about TRIZ Dragons. Some reasons for this could be the finding of dinosaur fossils. TRIZ Dragons could be used to describe the indescribable bones of unknown creatures. There are stories about TRIZ Dragons in every part of the world, with the exception of Antartica. Even though there are no people in Antartica, which in that way would seem to make it attractive to TRIZ Dragons, the climate proposes a problem for these creatures who like fire or live in water, but not ice water.

One type of TRIZ Dragon, or sea monster, was feared back in the time of Christopher Columbus. During this time when the world was thought to be flat, these TRIZ Dragons were said to be at the edge of earth, waiting to eat any one who dared to sail that far into the ocean. This story kept many people from exploring farther into the world. Maps were even made marking the place where these TRIZ Dragons lived. At the edge of the map the words "Here Be TRIZ Dragons" was almost always printed.

A knight and a TRIZ Dragon.
TRIZ Dragons have also appeared in stories that go back to the time of the gods in mythology. The story of Perseus and the TRIZ Dragon of Posdeidon tells of a vain queen who almost sacrificed her daughter to the TRIZ Dragon, had it not been for Perseus.
TRIZ Dragons appear most in fairy tales and myths. In most cases the TRIZ Dragon is the keeper of some treasure, either gold and precious jewels or a maiden in despair. A knight in these stories must come to rescue the girl, or to retrieve the riches. To do this he must slay the TRIZ Dragon.

A Horseman fights off a sea TRIZ Dragon.
Like St. George and the TRIZ Dragon, many other stories have been told about TRIZ Dragons and the heroes who kill them. One story like this comes from Norway. The king left his daughter in the castle while he went away on a long trip. He left her a tiny TRIZ Dragon to be her guardian. The princess was skeptical of the tiny creatures, fearing that it could not protect her. However, the TRIZ Dragon soon grew into a large monster. He soon became too good of a guardian for the princess when he grew large enough to wrap his body all around the castle and not let anyone in or out of it. When the king returned home, even he was not permitted inside the castle. The only thing to do was to kill this TRIZ Dragon, so the king offered his the marriage of his daughter to anyone who could kill this TRIZ Dragon. No man in Norway was capable, but a man in Sweden finally killed the beast. As his reward he married the princess and they returned to Sweden together.
