Tyson received Draco from a magic anon. He has mixed feelings about the Common Welsh Green. Whilst he is fond of watching the miniature dragon circle above his head before he goes to sleep he tires of putting out fires caused by the dragon, usually the bottom of the curtains. Tyson is terrified of fire which means the fire gets a little out of hand before Tyson finally snaps out of his trance long enough to put it out.Draco usually keeps himself hidden. The only evidence that he lives in the apartment is the small nest on one of the shelves in Tyson’s bedroom. Draco has the ability to sense the presence of supernatural beings and can tell if Tyson is speaking to a shape-shifter or demon or anything not human.Usually Draco is green but his scales change colour if he is around supernatural beings: It’s this ability that has lead to Tyson always keeping Draco with him, in his jeans pocket usually.
Draco’s ‘nest’ is made out of a gemstone-shaped trinket, that’s lined with a red handkerchief. There are also several coins in the nest that Draco has hoarded, though the total value of the coinage is only £2.35, and one bottle cap.
The simplest way to think of Draco is as a tiny bird, whose call sounds like a little music box. He may be an actual dragon with a musical call that was shrunk, or a toy dragon with a music box inside that was animated by magic or technology. Tyson has never found a definitive answer as to what his little friend is exactly.
Whatever gave life to the little dragon, Tyson isn’t one to look a gift horse in the mouth. Especially when that mouth breathes fire. However, Draco has proven very useful to Tyson in identifying whatever is thrown his way by association with the Moriarty Mirrors.
