And they're dragons, even...

[Very, very interesting. Not quite your traditional eastern dragons, but more like kaiju. Images flicker through his mind of elegant, serpentine eastern dragons and giant monsters stomping through cities.]

But yes. I believe the human appearances are a projection of how humans often see themselves as above other creatures, if not molded in the image of the divine.

Certain cultures may depict their gods in more animalistic forms, or perhaps their gods can take on the form of both man and beast. With a world so vast, one cannot condense all human myths and religions into one monolith, and cultural values will shape the mythologies just as much as the regions themselves.
