According to Wikipedia, Chinese (proto-Hmong-Mien *g-roŋA, Old Chinese (Baxter) *C-rjoŋ, C is an arbitrary consonant)
http://sealang.net/sala/archives/pdf8/solnit1996evidence.pdf
and European (*drak-o-)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragons
are not related.

I am not so sure. Does anybody know a site with relevant DNA studies?

BTW
Proto-Kartvelian *kra- "horn"
http://tinyurl.com/82xkqxq
Proto-Hmong-Mien *kłoŋ, Garo g-roŋ
Proto-Semitic k.arn-
PIE *k'era(w)-, *k'rū-


Unfortunately the Wikipedia article does not inform us whether Dragons were horny.
