Dunno know about Cretan dragons, but I’ve never even heard of someone getting bit in the South (US). I’m around them all time.

That was in Crete, I don’t know why it attacked but I still have a mark where it got me. It just randomly landed on my arm. It was almost as long as my arm, and I showed my little brother.

Look at this thing, that shouldn’t be there

And then I yeeted it off of my with a slap. It took quite a punch and did not follow after that.
