Drake, a.k.a. European dragon

The word "drake" is not mentioned in the European dragon article. Furthermore, I've always thought that a drake was a baby dragon.. am I wrong about this? -- œ ^™ 07:39, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

i have been tought same thing, i think its baby dragon, which cannot fly yet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.64.4.197 (talk) 09:11, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Taught by whom? I've never heard of a drake as a "baby dragon", but considered it a distinct type of creature, larger than a Wyvern but smaller than even a juvenile dragon.

Of course, actually looking for information, there are numerous conflicting descriptions:

So, a drake is any baby dragon, or a male undeveloped dragon, or just a wingless dragon, or a category including all dragons and serpents, or a dragon-like humanoid, or a shape-shifting bipdel thing, or a wyvern-like creature, or a dog-sized flying lizard, or ...?

Certainly the current "a term sometimes used for the mythological European dragon" is (at best) inaccurate, and needs fixing. Ideally there should probably be a whole Drake (Mythical) page which groups and describes these various different interpretations?

I realize this is an old discussion, but I've just added a link to the redirect Drake (mythology), which currently points to dragon. If there are not enough significant differences between the two terms to merit a separate article, there should at least be a mention added to the dragon article.
