[edit] Contemporary Retelling
This was in the article on Saint George:
"A comic book, Aliens vs. Predator Annual #1, retold the story with the "dragon" of the legend revealed to be a Yautja, or Predator."
I took it out of there and have added it to this article, as it seems more relevant. Kayman1uk 09:14, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
EC comics had a retelling of this story where the dragon was really a joy riding alien who crashes his father spaceship on earth--BruceGrubb (talk) 12:11, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Small-ish Dragon
It seems to me that most European dragons are show as being larger than a house, while Saint George's dragon is almost always show much, much smaller. Why is this? 70.20.232.141 18:07, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Baryonyx
What about claims that it's a true story and that the Dragon was a Baryonyx?

I can answer that right here!
Dinosaurs by Design and Dinosaurs Those Terrible lizards Part 6
The claim about Baryonyx being the dragon George has killed is entirely false. The dragon in the tale is described to have wings and a poison breath which the dinosaur completely lacked thereof. Plus the dragon in some paintings is shown to have just 2 limbs while other painting depicts the dragon to have 4 limbs. According to the story, the dragon is described as a quadruped monster while Baryonyx is in fact only a bipedal animal. When Creationist Dan Lietha did a false portrayal of Baryonyx in his paintings, he rendered the creature as just a skinny quadruped animal with additional horns, spikes, even dog ears, making it to be everything Baryonyx in fact isn't-- What is shown in many creationist books on dinosaurs is huge example of how creationists distort folklore to fit their own corrupt agenda.--Crazyharp81602 (talk) 21:48, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
