why are germanic legends so obsessed with dragons/snakes/reptiles?

They didn't realize that there were literally giant lizards that existed and that they were actually just lazy retards.

They actually fought with dragons or dinosaurs as they are called nowadays

nothing special, from China to Mexico

Every society is. It's almost like they're trying to explain to us esoteric truths which transcends civilizations

Snakes and dragons have been a symbol of chaos for eons m8. It's not specific to the Germanics.

all cultures are. Most of the time they're not actually talking about physical flesh and blood creautres but spirits. Dragons were used to represent greed and conflict/anger for example. So they were elemental spirits not animals
