Meet the world’s largest dragon

“RAAWWWRRRRRRR.”

That’s probably what this giant, fire-breathing robotic dragon said when it was awarded the 2014 Guinness World Record for being the largest walking robot on the planet.

The dragon, named Tradinno (a combination of the words “tradition” and “innovation”), was constructed by German manufacturer Zollner Electronik AG, .

Tradinno has a cushy job starring in “a 500-year-old tradition” in the village of Furth im Wald. As you may have guessed, that’s in Germany. It’s all about slaying dragons and whatnot.

It took three years to ꩲbuild Tradinno, who is 14.5 feet tall with a wingspan of 40 feet. The hulk weighs 11 tonnes, which is ♌probably comparable to what a real dragon would weigh, if dragons were actually real.
