Dragons aren't real, stop sign, they're just pretend like Big Bird.

DaBen:

It will be the year of make-believe. We can all enjoy the hobbit when it comes out.

Xpat.John:

Mmmm... Dragon roasted Hobbit. I wants me some.

I found this online for people inclined to believe in it.  This year is the year of the "Water Dragon" as the Chinese zodiac is tempered by the five elements and a "Water Dragon" has more specific traits.

----------------------------------------------

The key to the Dragon personality is that Dragons are the free spirits of the Zodiac. Conformation is a Dragon's curse. Rules and regulations are made for other people. Restrictions blow out the creative spark that is ready to flame into life. Dragons must be free and uninhibited. The Dragon is a beautiful creature, colorful and flamboyant. An extroverted bundle of energy, gifted and utterly irrepressible, everything Dragons do is on a grand scale - big ideas, ornate gestures, extreme ambitions. However, this behavior is natural and isn't meant for show. Because they are confident, fearless in the face of challenge, they are almost inevitably successful. Dragons usually make it to the top. However, Dragon people be aware of their natures. Too much enthusiasm can leave them tired and unfulfilled. Even though they are willing to aid when necessary, their pride can often impede them from accepting the same kind of help from others. Dragons' generous personalities give them the ability to attract friends, but they can be rather solitary people at heart. A Dragon's self-sufficiency can mean that he or she has no need for close bonds with other people.

Dragons are the only thing on the Chinese zodiac chart that can't be found on a Chinese menu.
