History
The Desert Dragon appears in the tales of many who have traveled through the great Sahara Desert in Africa. Legends of a “fiend in the sand” or camels being swallowed whole have been passed from generation to generation by those who journey the hot, dry desert sands. History is full of tales of nomad camps disappearing overnight, or entire armies seemingly vanishing in the desert—tales that many think can be attributed to the cunning Desert Dragon. Disastrous treks into the Sahara by Napoleon’s armies and the 20th century German army can also be blamed on the cunning desert dweller.
