Pseudodragon (dNetHack)

In dNetHack, pseudodragons are a species of dragon-like creature, which can eventually grow to rival the true dragons in size and power. Some half-dragon roles start with pseudodragons as pets.

Origin

Pseudodragons are a creation of Dungeons & Dragons. They resemble true dragons superficially, but are usually far smaller and far more docile, which makes them suitable as familiars (pets) for wizards. They do not usually grow to the sizes they can have in dNetHack.
