Q&A

if there was a dragon that spits pyrophoric liquids like a spitting cobra

+0
−0

Ok, to be honest, I don't believe about dragons having a special bladder or organ that stores up gas (especially methane) and having flint-like teeth or whatnot, or even having six limbs.

Here's my description about what my dragon looks like:

  • wyvern like with a head of a snake that spits out some kind of organic pyrophoric fluid for only as a defense (similar to that of a spitting cobra) and it shoot it from its FANG and NOT from its throat

spitting cobra enter image description here

I saw this video of what my dragon can do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmkBH-ncG1Y

  • roughly the same size as a Haast eagle
  • lives in arid habitat
  • mostly scavengers, but feed on small preys and kills them by snatching them, fling high up in the sky and throwing them to the ground
  • they don't use their teeth and instead swallow their prey whole as it fangs are hollow

For anyone who doesn't know the meaning of pyrophoric, it means any substances that ignite if it so much as touches air.

I'm not a biochemist but what kind of pyrophoric liquid that my dragon can able to store or create and if possible where can it get its source?

PLEASE DON'T GIVE ANY REFERENCES ABOUT THE BOMBARDIER BEETLE!! I AWARE OF IT AND IT'S NOT DEFINITELY THE ANSWER TO MY QUESTION!!
