Firedrake

 is an enemy in Dragon's Dogma

Information and Stats
Firedrakes are Drakes found on Bitterblack Isle. They possess higher strength, health and resistances than normal Drakes, emit a red glow and are smoking constantly. Clinging onto a Firedrake causes Fire damage. Their attacks are the same as Drakes, but they deal massive damage.

Defeating a Firedrake has a chance of Dragon Forging your equipment, as long as it has at least one level of Enhancement. The chance on Dragon Forging is higher than on Drakes, Wyrms, Wyverns and about the same as Cursed Dragons.

Firedrakes seem to be highly resistant to most forms of damage in general.
