Dragons were the mythical version of the serpent and were included in the earliest myths of modern man. With the spread of man, dragon mythology also migrated around the world. Many Indo-European peoples play a prominent role in their mythologies. In Germanic and later Viking mythology, dragons are seen as all-destroying monsters. At the same time, they symbolize the evil beast that must be defeated by a hero. These two archetypes – the destroyer and the hero's opponent – reinforce each other.
