Dragons are also often reffered to as Drakes
I agree Reptilia Immortalis is very cool...

Dragonet can also refer to a small dragon-like creature that inhabited Pern when settelers first arrived....

Some Dragons can be refered to as Gods, The origional term in my book is Weyr Lords: They protected the early outcast humans, during times of war in exchange for game, peace, and the advancment of knoledge; over the centuries this relationship became one sided and the dragons treated as gods. This did not bode well.....

Sorry that was off topic..... :oops:
