The Welsh dragon does not appear on the flag because when the first Union Flag was created in 1606, Wales was already united with England. Wales was conquered by England in the 13th Century. In 1536, under Henry VIII, the Act of Union joined England and Wales officially. Therefore Wales is represented by the English Flag instead of the Welsh dragon.
