Description[]
The Common Welsh Green dragon
The Common Welsh Green dragon was a relatively subdued breed (except for the rare exception of theIlfracombe Incident). It preferred to prey mainly onsheep and other small mammals and to avoidhuman contact altogether.[1]
The Welsh Green's roar was rather distinctive and somewhat melodious, and it issued itsfire in narrow jets. The eggs of the Common Welsh Green were earthy brown, flecked with green.[1]
History[]
17th century[]
It was possible that a young Common Welsh Green may have been the actual cause of theGreat Fire of London in1666.[3]
20th century[]
TheIlfracombe Incident occurred in1932, whena rogue Common Welsh Green dragon attacked a group of sunbathers at Ilfracombe, inDevon, England. The attack was thwarted by the Toke wizarding family, who proceeded to cast the largest group of Memory Charms seen in the twentieth century. The Toke family were subsequently awarded theOrder of Merlin First Class, for their heroism and quick thinking.[1]

Behind the scenes[]
- InLEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4, the Welsh Green is the second dragon seen. It blocks your way by knocking its tail towards the ground. You have to play music on axylophone in the order that thedragon sings to make it fall asleep.
- InHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (video game), it is a Welsh Green that is used to guard theLestrange Vault atGringotts Wizarding Bank instead ofanUkrainian Ironbelly as specified inthe film. Instead of metallic grey as the Ironbelly is, the Welsh Green has become pale because of no sunlight, as it is originally green.
- Unlike the other dragons from theFirst Task which are shown in the 'modern' wyvern design, the Common Welsh Green selected byFleur is depicted in the classic dragon design with four legs.
- In the German translation ofFantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,Newt Scamander says that the Common Welsh Green has brown and green eyes instead of eggs.
- Ironically the real Welsh Dragon (theY Ddraig Goch,literally translated as the Red Dragon), which is the national animal of Wales and is universally depicted on all of their flags, is traditionally depicted as red.
