Drake, a.k.a. European dragon
The word "drake" is not mentioned in the European dragon article. Furthermore, I've always thought that a drake was a baby dragon.. am I wrong about this? -- &oelig; &trade; 07:39, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

i have been tought same thing, i think its baby dragon, which cannot fly yet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.64.4.197 (talk) 09:11, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Taught by whom? I've never heard of a drake as a "baby dragon", but considered it a distinct type of creature, larger than a Wyvern but smaller than even a juvenile dragon.

Of course, actually looking for information, there are numerous conflicting descriptions:
 * http://www.blackdrago.com/types.htm#drake
 * http://www.dnd-wiki.org/wiki/Drake_(3.5e_Class)
 * http://www.santharia.com/bestiary/drakes_great.htm
 * http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Drake
 * http://www.lomion.de/cmm/drakmyst.php
 * http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Sky_Drake_(3.5e_Creature)

So, a drake is any baby dragon, or a male undeveloped dragon, or just a wingless dragon, or a category including all dragons and serpents, or a dragon-like humanoid, or a shape-shifting bipdel thing, or a wyvern-like creature, or a dog-sized flying lizard, or ...?

Certainly the current "a term sometimes used for the mythological European dragon" is (at best) inaccurate, and needs fixing. Ideally there should probably be a whole Drake (Mythical) page which groups and describes these various different interpretations?

 * I realize this is an old discussion, but I've just added a link to the redirect Drake (mythology), which currently points to dragon. If there are not enough significant differences between the two terms to merit a separate article, there should at least be a mention added to the dragon article.

Famous Drakes
No direct mention of Drake the privateer or Drake the musician? There are things named after Drake on this page, but not Drake - to get to Francis Drake, you have to click on Drake (surname), then get a list of Drakes, and find Francis Drake under F, which then goes to yet another disambiguation page where at least he's at the top. This seems disambiguation too far when Drake is mostly known simply as Drake, which I would speculate would be true in a lot of English writing at least (maybe not other languages). Meanwhile Churchill goes straight to Winston Churchill. I won't make any changes because this kind of stuff gives me a headache and it would probably need a formal discussion.
