The dragon that is most often depicted in art and visualized by most people is the heraldic dragon, which is fire breathing, has legs and arms equipped with sharp talons, and wings like those of a bat. This is a later rendering of the dragon, and may date from influences brought over by the Romans. It may have also developed from the Wyvern, which had the legs of and wings of an eagle and the body of a serpent.
The actual roots of the dragon lore are more difficult to discover, the dragon does not seem to be based on a physical creature, and suggestions that they are deep-rooted memories of the dinosaurs cannot really be upheld.
