How, exactly, did the idea of a dragon enter the human mythos? 🐉
, or wingless dragon. Those wanting to settle in the area had to first deal with the dragon before founding Klagenfurt. As is traditional with dragons, this one gobbled up anyone who tried to cross the marsh. Fortunately, a local duke funded the building of a stone tower in the swamp.
Once the building was complete, the locals fished for the dragon from the safety of the tower, using a chain for line, a bull for bait and presumably a hefty hook. Eventually, they captured the beast. At this point in history, the dragon seems to have been little more than an enormous and fearsome water snake. But in the way of creatures both biological and mythical, it evolved. By 1287, the city’s coat of arms shows the monster as having the head of a wolf, the body of a bird and the tail of a snake. Within a few centuries, it had grown legs, evolving into something we would recognize today as a typical flying, fire-breathing dragon.
