Dragon

A dragon, (not to be confused with a drakon), is a large, usually winged creature that is mostly used for guarding objects or places (as seen at regular points in the books). Dragons are able to breathe fire and are reported to be quite intelligent. They appear in nearly all the myths around the world, not just in Greek myths. Dragons were used to protect the apples of immortality in The Garden of the Hesperides. A dragon, Peleus, is currently under employment of Camp Half-Blood. (Some automatons are made to resemble or represent dragons like Festus).
