^While I definitely agree that Dragons are more universally known, that wasn't quite my point. I was more alluding to the idea that their initial description should be based on experiences they've already had or evidence they already poses. So, upon seeing a giant lizard approach them, their first thought (imo) should have been dinosaur. Then, once it breathed fire, they could switch their stance to the mythological.
(btw, I'm fully aware of just how silly this discussion is
.)

As an afterhtought, I've decided that due to the size of Big Mom (and to a lesser extent, Whitebeard), I seriously hope Kaidou is a dwarf. Something about one of the Yonkou being less than a meter tall just seems indescribably cool to me...
