"The dragon is the imagistic representation of the functional category of predator. Its like this: If youre a monkey, then a bird will pick you off, like an eagle. Thats the wings. If it wasnt an eagle, then it was a cat (dragon claws), because they climb trees and give you a good chomping. And if it wasnt a cat, then you go down to the ground and a snake would get you, or maybe the snake would climb up the tree. So a dragon is a cat-snake-bird. And thats the thing that you really want to avoid. And the other thing is that it breathes fire, which is interesting because fire was both greatest friend and greatest enemy of humanity."
