A Firedrake was a small magical flying lizard, of which several were kept by the Circus Arcanus in 1927.[2]

Description[]

Small flying lizards with long antennae, Firedrakes were sometimes mistaken for dragons, though they did not breathe fire. Instead they emitted sparks from the ends of their tails, which could be used to set anything flammable alight.[1]
