Scientific Name: Draco Culina
Common Name: Kitchen dragon
Habitat: Domestic kitchens with crowded pantries and cupboards full of
metal pots and pans
General Description
Though it may seem reasonable to assume that Kitchen dragons are closely related to the more common Draco domesticus, this is not the case. In fact, the only real similarity is their size. The larger and more easily distinguished scales of Draco culina are invariably a bright copper or silvery color that perfectly matches the pots and pans among which they hide. A Kitchen dragon's voice sounds rather like a squeaky hinge, and is apparently used to map out the contents of a pitch-black pantry from the faint echoes received by its unusually large ears. Seemingly misplaced kitchen utensils are often a problem in kitchens called home by one of these dragons, though no one knows why the they move things around so. Usually, however, this behavior is tolerated with a smile because of the additional fact that Kitchen dragons refuse to share the larder with any of the common kitchen pests such as crickets and mice, and are quite thoroughly tidy and clean themselves.
