Dragons frequently reveal themselves to developing human cultures, so as to plant the seeds for later use; the term "dragon" is known to nigh-on every cosmere culture.{{book ref|tress|51}} The effectiveness of this approach varies, however. On [[Roshar]], despite the world being home to the sole draconic Shard, dragons are virtually unknown in the present times, although ancient artwork depicting draconic creatures suggests this was not always the case.{{book ref|sa4|80}}{{file ref|Oathgate Locations.jpg|text=Oathgate Locations}} On [[Nalthis]], on the other hand, dragons are well-known mythological creatures, with the phrase "dragon's nest" referring to someplace highly dangerous.{{book ref|wb|17}}{{wob ref|1346}} Similarly, dragons are a familiar concept on [[Lumar]], though it's unclear how well-known they were before Xisis moved there.{{book ref|tress|51}}
The planet of [[Komashi]] appears to be particularly taken with dragons. They were popular in the times of the [[Torio]] kingdom, with sculptures depicting them frequently used as decorations.{{book ref|yumi|40}} Centuries later, in [[Nagadan]], dragons remained a popular motif, with plush dragons being sold as childrens' toys, and one of the years of the Nagadan calendar being named the year of the dragon.{{book ref|yumi|28}}{{book ref|yumi|16}} Despite this, Komashi myths seem to paint at least some dragons as antagonistic, as they have stories of dragon-slaying heroes.{{book ref|yumi|10}}
