The Wales flag, unique among the UK's constituent flags for featuring a fire-breathing red dragon rather than a cross, and famously the reason Wales gets left off the Union Jack โ the flag combining England, Scotland, and Ireland's crosses predates Wales's own separate design being formalized. The dragon, 'Y Ddraig Goch,' traces to Arthurian legend and ancient Welsh folklore about a red dragon defeating an invading white one.
