Tale:

Was eventually killed by an exiled townsmember named Winckelriedt (exiled for temper and swordplay). He went up to the cave and found himself nearly as big as the dragonet. They fought, and Winckelriedt finally saw an opening when the dragonet allowed him to get too close. The dragonet was thus killed.

Notes:
  • Said to have fiery breath so deadly that no one could fight it.
  • Possibly evolved from fossils found by the locals during the Medieval period, according to the Rev Father Athanasius Kricher, a Jesuit scholar.
