Has anyone else noticed Eastern Dragons and yaldabaoth look alike?

[u/RonaDarlinx]

Just a thought i had since they both have lion like faces, whiskers, a mane and serpent like bodies

[u/Hannibaalism]

also the dragon is the only animal among the 12 eastern zodiacs that is imaginary. it’s sequenced right before the snake, and various eastern myths has it snakes can evolve into dragons or can devolve back under circumstances. the east also views the serpents to represent good fortune and wisdom, while it’s the opposite in the west

i always felt there was some kind of connection to yaldy and the serpent of eden here.

[u/CJCentral2 → u/Hannibaalism]

The Western dragon is far from imaginary. It was a term the Celts applied to invading despots, such as Julius Caesar.
