I think "dragons throughout the world" is the keyword here, correct me if I'm wrong.
Dragon legends are found throughout the world, but they also vary greatly. As far as my knowledge goes, Europe and Asia have the most dragon stuff. No matter where you go, dragons are most often a symbol of power. In the Bible, the dragon represents the power and fierocity of Satan, father of all evil. Similarily in Europe dragons reflect the qualities of the seven deadly sins: greed, pride, lust, anger, gluttony, sloth, and envy; the seven Satanic aspects of human nature. They covet and steal jewels and other shiny stuff, they destroy whole nations with their fiery wrath, they pig out on sheep and then sleep for decades or centuries at a time, they demand virgin women from frightened townsfolk, and they flaunt their power boastfully in front of the weak human race. Usually they are slain by some hero who defeats them only through faith and assistance from God.
In Asia on the other hand, they're mostly friendly. Some are said to have pearls in their mouths and anyone who takes the pearl can tame it. They resemble the rivers, peacefully watching over the people but still devestating when angry.
