Draco vulgaris, also known as swamp dragons, are tiny dragons which are often kept as pets. Their eggs are badly constructed and they're mainly flightless, except in a snowstorm or any kind of storm. Lady Sybil Ramkin is the authority on all things swamp dragon and also owns the Sunshine Sanctuary for Sick Dragons.
Possibly related to the Draco stellaris nauticae or Star-Voyaging Dragons found on Discworld's moon.
