firedrakes
Mythical fire beasts
Firedrakes are mythical fire-breathing dragons or serpents from Germanic and Old English folklore.
The term appears in fantasy literature and games as a specific dragon variety, typically distinguished by its association with fire or volcanic habitats: The firedrakes guarded the mountain's molten core.
Sometimes used poetically for any fiery, dragon-like creature.
