A dungeon is an underground room or cell in which prisoners are held. Dungeons are generally associated with medieval castles, although their association with torture belongs more to the Renaissance period. An oubliette is a form of dungeon that was accessible only from a hatch in a high ceiling. The image of dark, damp dungeons as the scene of lengthy incarceration and unspeakable cruelty is common in popular culture.
The dragon is a legendary creature with serpentine or otherwise reptilian traits in the myths of many cultures. The word 'dragon' derives from Greek δράκων (drakōn), 'a serpent of huge size, a python, a dragon' and that from δρακεῖν (drakein) aorist infinitive active of the verb δέρκομαι (derkomai) 'I see clearly'. Dragons are usually shown in modern times with a body like a huge lizard, or a snake with two pairs of lizard-type legs, and able to emit fire from its mouth. The European dragon has bat-type wings growing from its back.
Cold Cast is a modern method of casting sculptures using a mixture of resin and powdered polymer materials. The finished sculpture has a surface which looks very similar to traditionally cast material, but tends to be much lighter.
