Dragonflame
Dragonflame or dragonfire is the fire produced by a dragon. The dragon expels its fire from its gullet and out of its mouth. The older and larger the dragon the more devastating its fire. Dragonflame can come in different colors.[1] The word dracarys is translated as meaning dragonfire in High Valyrian.[2]
