Dragon Coloring Pages
Welcome to my Dragon coloring pages section.
Dragons turn up in stories from almost every part of the world, and no two places quite agree on what one looks like. Some have wings and breathe fire, while others are long and snake-like with no wings at all.

Dragons from Different Cultures
In China a dragon brings the rain and flies without a single wing. In old European stories it's more likely to be sitting on a pile of gold. The same creature can mean very different things in different parts of the world.

One of the oldest dragon stories in Britain is about a king whose tower kept falling down. The wizard Merlin explained that two dragons, a red one and a white one, were fighting in the ground below it. The red dragon won, and it's still on the flag of Wales today.
Famous Dragons
Some dragons are famous enough to have starred in books, movies, video games and trading cards. You'll find the best known ones from stories and screens all in one place, including a few you may have been hoping to spot.
Cute and Baby Dragons
Baby dragons hatch from eggs, just like baby birds do, except that a sneeze can set the curtains on fire. These ones are all very well behaved.
Dragons Outdoors and in the Weather
In China dragons are linked to water and weather, and people used to pray to them for rain. These ones are out flying, perching on mountains and braving every kind of weather.
Fierce and Spooky Dragons
In old European stories dragons were the monsters that heroes had to deal with. They breathed fire, burned down villages and guarded their treasure so closely that nobody could get near it. These dragons look like they'd fit right in.
Knights, Elves and Dragon Legends
In a lot of old stories a dragon is a problem waiting for a hero, and England's patron saint, St George, is famous for slaying one. Some dragons would rather team up, like the ones carrying elves in these pages.
Silly and Friendly Dragons
Not every dragon wants to guard treasure. Some would rather nap, build a castle or head into town for the day.

Dragons in Bloom
In China the peony is called the king of flowers, so it's no surprise a dragon would want to wear a few. This dragon is covered in them, and so are plenty of other animals and creatures.

Flower Dragons
Flower Dragons are little garden guardians, not the fire-breathing kind. Each one hatches from an egg in a troll's garden, and the flowers growing around it give it its color and its special powers...
Nobody ever agreed on what color a dragon should be, so storytellers around the world simply picked their favourite. In China the Azure Dragon guards the east, a blue-green creature who stands for spring and the first leaves unfurling after a long winter.
Gold was kept for emperors. The emperor of China wore yellow robes stitched with dragons in shimmering thread, and nobody else was allowed to copy them, so a golden dragon meant royalty from across the room.
High in the Himalayas, Bhutan calls itself the Land of the Thunder Dragon. A snowy white dragon stretches across its flag over a sky of saffron yellow and burnt orange, clutching jewels in its claws.
So a dragon can be the deep crimson of a glowing ember or the pale silver of moonlight on a lake.
