But there are also other theories, one of them, believing the Chinese dragon was originated from alligator since they look alike. It has a long body with scales, horns and claws and can walk, fly, swim, generate clouds and bring rain. They are legendary creatures: in contrast to European dragons that are considered evil, Chinese dragons traditionally symbolize potent and auspicious powers, particularly control over water, rainfall, and floods.
