fire dragon
Blazing mythical beast
A fire dragon is a dragon that breathes or embodies fire—the archetypal Western dragon of myth and fantasy.
The term distinguishes this creature from other dragon types in fiction and games: ice dragons, water dragons, shadow dragons.
Fire dragons appear throughout folklore, literature, and video games as formidable opponents guarding treasure or terrorizing villages: The fire dragon reduced the castle to ash.
