Dragons are useful as well as fashionable pets. Over the ages they have had the reputation for smashing villages, eating domesticated animals, and hoarding gold. These are all myths. Dragons are, in reality, a polite, dashing, educated breed and only the Flammable can actually breathe fire. Living approximately to the age of 473 years of age, they are a perfect wedding present. The size of a dragon depends on the breed. Some dragons, for example the Windlehorn, can grow to the size of a Great Dane, while others; such as the Melodonias can grow to the amazing size of two hundred feet wide. The bigger and more colorful the dragon is, the more expensive it is. A dragon can price from $600.00 to around 2.2 million American dollars. Most dragons come with a two hundred year warranty. To own a dragon over 16 ½ feet long, you must own at least one hundred acres of land.
