According to Rudolf Koch, the Dragon's Eye is an ancient Germanic symbol.^[1] The Dragon's Eye is an isosceles or equilateral triangle pointing downward, with a "Y" in the middle connecting the three points of the triangle together. According to Carl G. Liungman's Dictionary of Symbols, it combines the triangle meaning "threat" and the "Y" meaning a choice between good and evil.^[2]

Games

The shape has been incorporated in the Ingress logo since its original public release in 2013^[3]. According to the in-universe mythology, the triangle represents humanity (while the hexagon represents the "Shapers").^[4]

Political use

The dragon's eye is used by the White Nationalist organization Identity Evropa^[5], founded in 2016.
