Well, European history depicts them as being mostly evil, around when the idea was first created in Europe, while Chinese history depicts many of them as spirits, with some being purely evil and others not. But the dragons in Skyrim aren't dragons at all; they depict wyverns because they only have 2 legs instead of 4, with wings coming out of their arm sockets.
