The vast majority of 'western' dragons are descendants of Kaine, preferring the rainy land of Doggerland and the cold ice sheets of Asgard to the burning sands. With the 'higher' castes of Hyperborea and Atlantis well-guarded, they mostly eat human slaves or migrating megafauna. They prefer homo-sapiens not because it's the only thing they can eat, but due to the fact that human blood is extremely intoxicating to the Ken who enjoy its sweet taste. Adding to the peculiarity is the fact that Cro-Magnons are particularly delicious to them, the toiling slaves of the High Men, instead of the Atlanteans or the Aesir or the Lemurians or... Anyone else for that matter.

That's why so many myths center around monsters eating people: we're downright scrumptious. Beware the forests, beware the glaciers and deep dark waters, for the ken lurk.
