Scientific Name: Draco Domesticus
Common Name: House dragon
Habitat: Human dwellings all over the world.
General Description
It is doubtful that there exists anywhere a house without its own resident dragon. House dragons are invariably small creatures --usually smaller, even, than a mouse--regardless of the size of the particular house in which they live. Their scales are very fine and soft and usually a sort of dusty tan color, though quite a few local variations have been noted from town to town. Perhaps the most noteable characteristic of these domestic types --other than the fact that they are voiceless--is that they have a very strong compulsion to gather lint. Whether for purposes of nest building alone or as the result of some inherited drive for tidyness, no one knows, but the ever present tufts and pillows of lint found in corners, beneath chairs and under the bed are a sure and certain sign that your own house dragon has been busy while you sleep. It is also believed that house dragons engage in mischievous games of hide and seek with any cats or kittens which may share the same abode, thus explaining those nightly noises of scampering feet across the rug and down the hall.
