The genre of Fantasy can be described as a magnificent dragon, with its glorious scaled plots to its fire-breathing characters. The dragon as a whole is the image of perfection but take away some of its features and it loses its lustre. The same can be said for the Fantasy genre. Without its diverse array of settings, plots and characters, the genre would have withered away to nothing but an empty husk, leaving behind many a void within millions of hearts. It is thanks to its many sub-genres, or features, that has given Fantasy the strength to be as popular as it is today; and not only within the world of books. Countless shows, films and games have been created with Fantasy running through the heart of the creation. What follows is by no means an extensive list of sub-genres but a handful of some of the more popular ones. These may be expanded upon in the future.
