Although the Dragon slain by St George was actually green (but perhaps it became more red as the battle progressed!) a Green Dragon on its own is actually an Heraldic symbol. This symbol has Welsh origin, and represented loyalty to the Earls of Pembroke. Heraldically, the Green Dragon is more welsh than the Red Dragon, which appears on the principality's flag.
