firedrake

Mythical flame beast

A firedrake is a dragon, specifically one that breathes fire.

The word is archaic and literary, appearing in Old English texts and fantasy literature: The firedrake guarded its hoard of gold.

Drake alone can mean dragon, so firedrake emphasizes the creature's fiery nature.
