Biography
Presumably a middle or heavyweight combat dragon, Conflagratia was credited with helping Sir Francis Drake defeat the Spanish Armada in 1588. Her name stems from the Latin verb 'to burn', which might suggest a fire breather except that none of the native British dragon species had this ability or an early Longwing as her name may come from the burning of her acid. Conflagratia might also have been a Flecha-del-Fuego stolen from the Spanish either as an egg or by the capture of her captain.
