firedragon

Legendary fire-breathing serpent

A firedragon is a dragon that breathes or embodies fire—the most common type in Western mythology and fantasy.

The term appears in older texts like *Beowulf* and persists in fantasy games and literature: The firedragon swooped down, scorching the village.

Sometimes written as two words: fire dragon.
