The dragon was considered a magical creature by the people of the Vikings. The Vikings knew the dragon Fafnir and the Midgard Serpent. In Asia, the dragon was considered a lucky charm and a symbol of fertility, while Christians considered the dragon to be the embodiment of evil.
Various magical powers were attributed to dragons, e.g. their blood could ward off injuries, eating a dragon's heart made one understand the language of the animals and eating a dragon's tongue could improve one's oratory.
The armies of the Romans and Germanic tribes went to war with dragon standards, which were intended to intimidate the enemy, and in the visual art of the Viking Age the dragon had a prominent position and was described in many sagas.
