While the mature form of these dragons have the balance of yin and yang, these younger dragons lack that, making them immature and entirely self-serving. Although the Blood Dragon represents a major source of evil and suffering in the book, it serves mostly as a vector to display the true source of suffering and evil in the world: humans themselves. One major example of this is the fact that, when on land, the Blood Dragon appears as the human’s most feared yang entity.

In Beowulf, the dragon represents uncontrollable and sinful greed and anger. Angry that a man had stolen just one goblet from his vast treasure hoard, the dragon leaves his cave to burn and destroy the homes and property of innocent humans (Beowulf 2293–2325).
