Rocket
Speedy creature's name
A rocket is a projectile propelled by the expulsion of combusting fuel—from fireworks to spacecraft: The rocket launched at dawn.
The shape and trajectory extend to anything that rises fast: Housing prices rocketed.
To rocket is to move with sudden speed.
In British English, rocket is also the peppery salad green Americans call arugula.
