There are some characteristics that are common to all Dragons as in all have scales and a tail, those too might differ slightly but are common.

El

by Dr Anthony E. Smart

 
Leader of the gods. The first Canaanite god, El dwelt on Mount Saphon, and it was under his aegis that Baal married Anat, defeated the sea god Yam and the death lord Mot, and was installed as the divine bestower of life-giving rain. Represented as an aged man, El wore bull’s horns, the symbol of strength, and was usually depicted as seated. It is thought that he corresponded to the Hebrew god, Yahweh. He is also known as El ‘Elyon, “God Most High.”
