Firedrake
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Firedrake, in Teutonic mythology, is a fire-breathing reptilian creature, occasionally winged. It is much like the dragon.
In modern fantasy, "firedrake" is widely used for any fire-breathing dragon. From this usage, various other terms have been formed, such as "icedrake" for an ice-breathing dragon, and "shadowdrake" for a dragon that controls darkness.
Firedrake is also the name of a comic book character created by Alan Moore in the series Miracleman.
