What is in this image? Describe it as if you were explaining it to someone from the 15th century.

In this drawing, you behold the image of a fantastical beast, akin to what one might find in the marginalia of illuminated manuscripts or told in stories of dragons. The creature before you resembles a small dragon with friendly eyes, standing upright like a human. This gentle beast dons garments and a crown of flowers upon its head, as if it were attending a Midsummer celebration or a festival in the village. Its scales are suggested by small spikes lining its head and back, while the rest of its body is smooth. The creature extends a clawed hand in greeting or in a gesture of friendship, which softens its mythical and potentially fearsome nature into something endearing and amiable. This image is a representation not of a creature known to natural philosophy but of the whimsical and imaginary types often beloved by children and storytellers.
