Dragons are creatures that are found in all mythologies around the world and are always presented in an almost identical manner, like a huge snake, or some other reptile, with magical properties.
Medieval vision of the dragon as we know it from the legends of chivalry arose after the area of ancient Mesopotamia, the remains of dinosaurs found. In ancient Greek, Roman and Celtic culture dragons have been presented in a different way, similar to China's vision of these powerful creatures, which are also credited with the discovery of huge bones.

If you are truly powerful reptiles existed, then the alleged Loch Ness monster was perhaps the last representative of this kind.
For the people of medieval Europe and the Middle East, dragons are found everywhere and hiding in caves and were responsible for many evils. Many researchers therefore believe that dragons are nothing but a metaphor for evil, but this applies only to the Christian world.
In the Far East the dragon looked and still look quite different. They are wise and sophisticated creatures, associated with the elements water and air. According to Chinese legend, the gods came to earth from the belly flying dragon, which is a proof of ancient extraterrestrial visits to our planet.
In many eastern Indian tribes and cultures dragons were revered as representatives of the forces of nature and the universe and are held together with wisdom and longevity.

Almost 15 years has passed since first episode of Dexter's laboratory was aired. First episode called "Changes" aired in February, 1996. Dexter's Laboratory originally ended in 1998, but it was later revived for a movie as well as two more seasons.
The series revolves around Dexter, a nine-year-old boy genius who has a secret laboratory (which he pronounces with a stress on the second syllable) filled with highly advanced equipment hidden behind a bookshelf in his bedroom. Access to this never-ending laboratory is usually achieved by speaking various passwords or by activating hidden switches on his bookcase (such as pulling out a specific book). Dexter is normally in conflict with his ditzy older sister, Dee Dee, who can always mysteriously gain access to his lab no matter what he does to try and keep her out. Dee Dee eludes all manner of security and, once inside, delights in playing in the lab, often destroying his creations. Despite her hyperactive personality, Dee Dee can sometimes make more logical decisions than Dexter, or even give him helpful advice. Dexter, though highly intelligent, often fails at what he has set out to do when he becomes overexcited and makes careless choices. He manages to keep the lab a secret from his clueless, cheerful parents, who amusingly never notice any evidence of the laboratory, even when it is right before their eyes. Dexter also has a Russian accent, despite being from a typical all-American family, although there are also signs in family appearance and behavior that point to a German-Russian-Jewish mixed heritage. This can be supported by evidence such as Dee Dee's blond hair and blue eyes, Dexter's short stature and red hair, coupled with both the strong work ethic of Mother and the copious body hairs of Father.
Dexter has an arch-nemesis, a boy from his school who dubs himself "Mandark". Mandark lives down the block from Dexter and has his own secret laboratory. His schemes are generally evil and are designed to gain power for himself while downplaying or destroying Dexter's accomplishments. Dexter often makes better inventions than Mandark, but Mandark tries to make up for this by stealing Dexter's inventions. Mandark is also in love with Dee Dee, though she prefers to ignore him and never returns his affections. As the series progresses, Mandark's schemes become significantly more evil, his laboratory darker-looking, industrial and angular, in contrast to his original brightly-lit lab which had more rounded features.
Continuity is not a feature of the show, and many episodes are self-contained or leave characters in predicaments that are left unresolved and never referenced afterward; e.g., the entire lab is completely destroyed, the earth is destroyed, Dexter is turned into a sandwich, etc. Most episodes end in disaster because of a flaw in Dexter's logic or in his inventions. Dexter usually fails at what he has set out to do with Dee Dee often besting him.
The shorts occasionally chronicle the adventures of other characters besides Dexter, Dee Dee, and Mandark. Chief among these are Dexter's pet monkey, Monkey (who secretly lives a double life as a crime-fighting super-powered secret agent), and Dexter's favorite superhero, Major Glory. Both of these characters are often associated with a superhero team called The Justice Friends, which includes the superheroes Val Hallen and The Infraggable Krunk.
Here is first ever aired episode of Dexter's laboratory:
