The Dragon of the Moon apparently allied himself with Mordred against Camelot, but was banished into outer space by King Arthur with the help of the Eternal known as the Interloper.

It is proposed that this article be deleted, because of the following concern: better suited for wikia If you can address this concern by improving, copyediting, sourcing, renaming or merging the page, please edit this page and do so. ...


It was while on Titan, that the Dragon apparently offered Thanos power, and Thanos took it. This article or section on a comics-related subject may need to be cleaned up and rewritten because it describes a work of fiction in a primarily in-universe style. ...


Whilst imprisoned on Titan, the dragon sensed the presence of a human being that was currently being raised there, Heather Douglas, who would later become Moondragon. Moondragon is a fictional character in Marvel Comics universe. ...


The Dragon attempted to invade Moondragon's mind, but was repulsed by Moondragon herself, and the shields that kept him imprisoned, but not before he had planted a small seed of his essence within her mind.


The Dragon chose Moondragon simply because her spirit was good, and fundamentally powerful, but with an arrogance he could exploit.


Armed with this knowledge, the dragon bided its time, for Moondragon's mystical headband apparently kept its evil influence in check, but Moondragon herself was becoming disillusioned with the continuous battle within her mind to prevail over the dragon.


Manifesting as a black, demon-like, amorphous centipede to Moondragon, it taunted her, saying she could not hope to master both good and evil, it then took the form of Mantis and attacked Moondragon, eventually it ended up fighting the defenders, who came to Moondragon's aid, however, it was not until Beast shook Moondragon out of her stupor that the Dragon, taking Mantis's form, disappeared. Orders Geophilomorpha Lithobiomorpha Scolopendromorpha Scutigeromorpha Centipedes (Class Chilopoda) are fast-moving venomous, predatory, terrestrial arthropods that have long bodies and many jointed legs. ... Mantis is a fictional character, a superheroine in the Marvel Comics universe, and former member of the Avengers. ... This article or section on a comics-related subject may need to be cleaned up and rewritten because it describes a work of fiction in a primarily in-universe style. ...


Now, with her headband removed, The Dragon once again fought Moondragon for control. Without the headband to keep the Dragon's influence in check, Moondragon began to lose the battle against the Dragon.


At that point in time, Moondragon had also contracted the gamma spores, which began to ravage her body. The Dragon again appeared to her, taunting her with images of her parents' death and happiest moments in life, all the while claiming it could cure her of the gamma spores.


This apparently was too much for Moondragon, so she conceded, and gave in to the Dragon's evil influence.


Now with Moondragon completely under its control, the Dragon of the Moon confronted Valkyrie, Angel, and Gargoyle, defeating them all. Valkyrie is a fictional character and Marvel Comics superheroine. ... Archangel (Warren Worthington III), originally and still occasionally known as Angel, is a Marvel Comics superhero, best known as one of the founding members of the mutant super-team known as the X-Men. ... Gargoyle is a Marvel comics superhero, and a member of the Defenders. ...


It was not until Valkyrie called the full host of the Valkyrior against him, giving Angel time to call guide Cloud down to the unprotected Moondragon, where he hurled a lightning blot at her, apparently disintegrating her in a flash of light.


The Dragon of the Moon and Moondragon had seemingly disappeared, but were merely hurled across the world in shadow, biding their time, waiting.


The Dragon, now considering Moondragon unworthy as she had been twisted by evil, retreated to the back of her mind, waiting yet again.


The Dragon of the Moon would appear to Moondragon yet again, this time taking the form of two eclipsing suns, and attempted to destroy the Defenders, Interloper, and Manslaughter.


As interloper rushed into combat with the Dragon, so too did the Defenders battle Moondragon, using their psychic rapport, Manslaughter projected madness into Moondragon's mind, causing her to flee.


Now, the Dragon had to struggle to take control of Moondragon's mind yet again, but she resisted until the Dragon agreed to put her into contact with the Beyonder. The Beyonder is a fictional Supreme Being type character in the Marvel Comics universe. ...

The Legend of the Chinese Dragon (344 words)
Unlike the evil dragon the West, the Chinese Dragon is a beneficent and gracious creature and is worshipped as the divine ruler of Lakes, Rivers and Seas.
The Dragon first appeared in the sky, legend tells us, while an heir to the throne was born, and the country was blessed with peace and prosperity for many generation thereafter.
In parade appearance, the dragon performs its gyrations in pursuits of a costumed figure who holds aloft a pole with a ball on the end called the "Precious Pearl." The creature’s movement and tempo are controlled by this leader who manipulated the "pearl" according to plan, accompanied by drums and gongs.
