You ever wonder what sort of beast Saint George actually killed?

My understanding is that the St George myth ultimately derives from the Greek legend of Perseus and Andromeda, the latter having to be saved from a sea monster by the former.

Oh, I've just checked wikipedia and it agrees with me.

Well, I'd assume it would be a dragon. I have a book that has some information on the story.
I'm a huge fan of dragons, and I mean huge. What's not to like about them? Besides their tendency to eat people .. Burn things ...
Well anyway, I think it's a dragon.

Duh, people! The question was rhetorical, I was starting a thread of questions to mysteries without expecting any good answer.
