>>50869398Dragons are literally chimeras - their appearances varied, because they were usually a conglomeration of different animals (most popular depiction being part snake, part predatory cat and part eagle - all animals that used to hunt us when we were monkeys and thus creatures we have an instinctual fear towards). I imagine they'd just see the latest iterations - Charizard included - as par for the course; they'd certainly recognize it as a dragon even though it doesn't look exactly like what they would be used to.
>>50870762>Doesn't the Dragon symbolize Satan or something?>>50871444Dragons are literally angels in the bible. The word used for 'Seraphim' was mistranslated in the modern iterations of the Bible - rather than meaning 'Fiery Ones', it actually should be translated to 'the Serpentine Ones' (Serpentine meaning 'lizardlike', since 'Snake' is a different word entirely). This same word is used to describe both the thing Moses turns his staff into and the animal that Eve encounters in the Garden of Eden (before God removes its limbs in punishment, turning it into a snake). It's also the word used to describe Satan's form on the end of days - a big, red dragon. So while the lower tiers of angel are hideous abominations, the highest tier, Seraphim, are lizardlike beings with (feathered) wings who breathe fire (which matches the descriptions of dragons in a bazillion other religions), and Lucifer, who was one of the Seraphim, is known to be a dragon in Revelations AND Genesis (before the whole punishment thing). Demons - fallen angels - are what knights were said to go hunt and kill. And so on.
