Favorite dragon

I can't think of a very good place to put this so I'll just put it here. I thought of this last night and posted it since it just seemed like an interesting enough topic and for the most part I love dragons, so this came to mind. Just for fun, which kind of dragon is your favorite, western or eastern? Western dragons are more like what you see in America in films like Dragonheart and Reign of Fire. Eastern are more like Haku in Spirited Away, the kind that you see in the Orient that have more snake-like bodies.
I like both alot, but I actually prefer eastern. Maybe my Japanese heart is a part of this, and besides, they have a certain grace and yet ferociousness to them that is really amazing.
What's your opinion? Sorry if this seems like a dumb or pointless idea.

I like all dragons, but I prefer the way the Western dragons look. I always thought the serpentine dragons were more like large lizards and not quite as unique - meaning, a creature which stands out from anything else. IMHO, anyway. ^_____^

Yeah Eastern dragons are more like serpents than anything. I like Western style ones more they look more unique.

I can't quite picture what Western dragons look like. Would someone kindly show me a picture?

I've never particularly cared for Eastern dragons. Western dragons are much more awesome, in my opinion.

Dragons don't exist. I mean Western dragons are probably my favourite but Eastern dragons are a nice change now and then.

Western mostly, but not every style of Western.

I'm picky in the proportions that I like, I guess.

I also like more adornments on them, whether that be horns, fangs, jewels, armor, or just funky head shapes.

I used to like Puff to... until I found out he was just a child freindly image to promote the use of marijuana...@.@ I cried and cried and cried.... (okay not really but I was shocked. :wow!: )

ANYWAY

It all depends on the dragon. I like them both. They bother rock!
But if you have to get specific Levithan from FFVIII and Odjn from Breath of Fire V: Dragon Quarter.
