Welsh Dragon
It starts in Dinas Emrys in Northern of Wales in the United Kingdom around the Age of Iron. Vortigern tried to build a castle there, but every night walls fell-down by unseen and mystic forces. Vortigern the King asked for a boy to sacrifice, finding a special boy ( later named Merlin), with his death to solve the problem. The intelligent boy told the King about the White Dragon, which it demolished the castle.
Then Vortigern freed the dragons into a hill, they fought each other; Finally the Red Dragon defeats the White Dragon.
Nowadays this place is known as Wales. The Red Dragon or "Y Ddraig Goch" in the Welsh Language is a strong symbol.

That dragon is amazing. Will you publish a folding manual for it? I think it would be great if kids in every country could do their mascots as origamis.
