In Western folklore, Dragons are powerful and dangerous, but are also often insatiably greedy and devilishly cruel to others. Few embody this more than Fafnir of Norse mythology. Once a Dwarf with a rough persona, Fafnir's father obtains a vast fortune and a magical gold-finding ring with a curse of misfortune attached to it. So Fafnir kills his own father, steals the whole of the treasure, and transforms into a dragon in order to protect his ill gotten gold!
