However, newer Translations have backed off on this word since the evolutionary worldview became popular. They have usually been moderates who are ashamed of the designation "dragon" as promoting mythology. Ironicly the truly liberal translations were not as strict seeing the bible as having myths. The only passages that consistently get to stay translated dragons are from revelation becuase it is apocalyptic literature which they do not need to interpret literally. The new translations that are more conservatives are still not as complete as the KJV either.

As can be seen several new version altogether dump dragons outside of revelation from their bibles! (NIV, CSB, HCSB, NKJV)
Others have a smaller sample of the KJV references with random verses missing.
(RSV,NASB, ESV, NLT, LB)
So if you are a bible believer and you are a young earth creationist it is obvious that you need to keep to the KJV if you want to learn about dragons!
