Breathing fire actually does happen in real life! (Sort of.) Look up bombardier beetles.

I really enjoy it when people take such a detailed approach to fictional creatures. This was a great article. The flight part seems the most unrealistic to me, and I've noticed that most authors don't even try to explain it. Haha

I’ve just been looking at bombardier beetles, fascinating, thanks for the info! Nature is definitely more wild than fantasy could ever be.

Thank you so much for your kind words, I’m delighted you enjoyed it. Thank you, Michael!
