How is the dragon described in the story, The Dragon of Og?

The dragon in the story bears little resemblance to the traditional fierce, ugly, and evil dragons of most myth and literature. He is a beautiful creature, far more appealing than the rough and crude people, and he is generally not aggressive. When still a young dragon, he follows his mother's advice not to offend people. But when he is almost grown, his uncle advises him to eat only young girls, as dragons have always done. The naive dragon then asks his mother if it would offend the villagers if he ate just one, now and then. She tells him that it would and so he satisfies his appetite by rising from the pool every two or three weeks and pouncing on a bullock. He never feeds more often because "he was not a greedy dragon."
