Dragons Blood Tray

Dragons are legendary creatures, typically with serpentine or otherwise reptilian traits, that feature in the myths of many cultures.

Although dragons occur in many legends around the world, different cultures have varying stories about monsters that have been grouped together under the dragon label. Some dragons are said to breathe fire or to be poisonous. They are commonly portrayed as serpentine or reptilian, hatching from eggs and possessing typically scaly or feathered bodies. They are sometimes portrayed as having especially large eyes or watching treasure very diligently, a feature that is the origin of the word dragon (Greek drakeîn meaning "to see clearly").[2] Some myths portray them with a row of dorsal spines. European dragons are more often winged, while Chinese dragons resemble large snakes. Dragons can have a variable number of legs: none, two, four, or more when it comes to early European literature.

Dragons are often held to have major spiritual significance in various religions and cultures around the world. In many Asian cultures dragons were, and in some cultures still are, revered as representative of the primal forces of nature, religion and the universe. They are associated with wisdom—often said to be wiser than humans—and longevity. They are commonly said to possess some form of magic or other supernatural power, and are often associated with wells, rain, and rivers. In some cultures, they are also said to be capable of human speech. In some traditions dragons are said to have taught humans to talk.

The term dragoon, for infantry that moved around on horseback yet still fought as foot soldiers, is derived from their early firearm, the "dragon", a wide-bore musket that spat flame when it fired, and was thus named for the mythical creature.

Dragon's blood serves a purpose in many different mythologies. Depending on the tradition, dragon’s blood had very different meanings. In the Slavic myth, the Earth refuses it as it is so vile that Mother Earth wishes not to have it within her womb, and it remains above ground for all eternity.

In another myth, dragon’s blood is used in extreme cases as a medicine, retaining the magic powers of the serpentine lizard. In yet another myth, it is used as a poison, bringing instant death to anyone who touches it. In yet another legend it is used as a varnish, its color causing beautiful discoloration on wood.

Another myth speaks of the uses of dragon’s blood to gain wisdom and strength, granting the drinker heroic bravery, curing blindness, and giving one the ability to learn things only the dragons had previously known, such as the languages of the animals, specifically birds.

Yet another myth tells the tale of the drinker getting superhuman abilities and this is believed to be the origin of the popular cocktail amongst sports teams known as dragon blood.

Beowulf and several other myths speak of dragon's blood as possessing acidic qualities, allowing it to seep through lead, steel, and iron. In these stories, knights who fight the dragons find it difficult to slay them, as their swords are melted the instant they break through the dragon's skin.

In German legend, dragon blood has the power to render invincible skin or armor bathed in it, as is the case with Siegfried's skin or Ortnit's armor.

We have chosen the myth that says drinking dragons blood endows the drinker with the ability to speak with animals.

As with all our work, we will be happy to customize it for you for an additional fee if you contact Kitty in world. We would also be happy to change the textures in the pot or on any of the drinks contained here in. Contact Kittycat Ninetails in world please.

By the way, custom means we do different textures on the decanter or barrel, and perhaps on the cups/mugs/horns/glass inside plus edit the chatter the cup does. We are more than happy, at no additional fee, to change out any drink in any of the decanters for any others. We have no way of knowing what you like to drink, and do not consider taking a barrel and shifting the drinks in it to something else as custom. That is just good customer service.
