Sounds like the kind of critter that would have been a predator to the dragon precursors, giving them a reason to develop their “fight or flight” incendiary disposition.
I figure they’re aout half the size of the ‘current’ draconid species.
About three or so could give a juvenile dragon a good whupping, but the adults are more wary.
I referred to the citters as ‘bounders’, figured the crashed humans would name the wildlife in accordance to what they see the creatures.
I did a sketch, but the scanner is still gimped.
