Information
has gloss	eng: The Fire-lizard, also known as a Dragonet or Fire Dragonet, is a lifeform indigenous to the fictional planet Pern featured in Anne McCaffreys Dragonriders of Pern series of novels. The DNA from fire-lizards was used to develop the much larger dragons needed to defend Pern from the deadly Thread organism. After being discovered by Sean Connell and Sorka Hanrahan when Pern was first settled, their benefits as pets were acknowledged, and their natural abilities were augmented through mentasynth' to allow better communication with people. These enhanced fire-lizards were originally referred to as dragonets because of their likeness to the dragons featured in old myths from Earth; however, their ability to breathe fire led to the eventual use of the name fire-lizard. Dragonet, meanwhile, became the title given to infant dragons.
