A friendly dragon is a mythical creature often depicted as large and powerful, yet gentle and kind. Unlike traditional dragons that are often portrayed as fierce and dangerous, friendly dragons are known for their playful nature and willingness to help others. They are often shown in stories as protectors of villages or companions to humans. In various cultures, friendly dragons can symbolize wisdom and strength. They may be associated with elements like fire or water, depending on their origin. Popular examples of friendly dragons include Toothless from the animated film series How to Train Your Dragon and Puff from the classic song "Puff, the Magic Dragon."
