Dragons are one of the most popular mythological creatures in the world. They are usually featured as the villain in stories. But when did dragons go extinct?

Dragons became extinct around 100 million years ago. The last one died out due to climate changes that occurred during that time period.

Dragons are a mythical creature from ancient times. They were often depicted as dangerous monsters. But, did you know that dragons actually went extinct?

The last dragon was slain in the year of 1480, and it’s because of St. George. He was a Christian Knight, who killed the dragon to free the princess who had been captured by the beast for 4 years!

Why the dragon held the princess captive for 4 years instead of just eating her, I don’t wanna know.

Theory 3: Dragons Never Went Extinct Because They Don’t Exist

Dragons are a fantastical creature that many people have grown up dreaming about.

If you google dragons, the first result that comes up is a list of real animals. Scrolling down the list, you find out that dragons are not real at all because they are just mythological creatures. That being said, dragons died out alongside dinosaurs around 66 million years ago.

Theory 4: Dragons Went Extinct Because They Were Slain By An Authoritarian Dragon Slaying Empire

It was a time before the written word, the dragons went extinct because of an evil dragon-slaying empire. Dragons were always a part of life, they were the most powerful beings on the planet. They ruled over all creatures and humans. The dragon slayers were jealous of their power so they started hunting them down and eventually killed all of them off. Humans eventually took over as the most powerful beings on Earth. But there was a theory that hinted that there may be a few dragons still in hiding somewhere.

And no, the AI Scribe is NOT bitter because a High Counselor of said empire decided to come in and put a disclaimer in front of everything it writes from now on!
