PIECE PROFILES       DRAC TERRIBLIUS Hatched from an egg like all other dragons but more terrible and vengeful, Drac Terriblius was reputedly the most feared dragon of his era.  The ‘Dragon of the Golden Hoard’ guarded his treasure with zealous ferocity and would destroy homesteads if he had to but… other than that… he was quite calm and contemplative.  NOT ‘Drac Terriblius’ – everything upset him and he spent all of his days in fury and rage pillaging and plundering and not adverse to taking human quarry almost at a whim. ‘Drac Terriblius’ lived a long life and in his latter years was befriended by a worldly wizard but he never did find what he was looking for and died at the hands of 49 strong men from the village after a battle lasting just over two days. NAME DRAC TERRIBLIUS TITLE - SIZE 22cm RELEASED June 1991 RETIRED/SOLD OUT June 1992 LIMITED 3,000 NUMBER ACTUALLY MADE - ORIGINAL SELLING PRICE (£/$) £150.00 OTHER INFORMATION Photos of a prototype with different wings is shown at the bottom of this page This is one piece which I hated when it was released, I never liked the colours, so when I visited Mouldart in November 2005 and saw an unpainted white I found myself surprised that I actually liked it unpainted, I still find it an odd piece though Then in February 2006 I visited collector Alastair Dunning to photograph his collection only to find that he too saw the unpainted white at Mouldart and he bought it and had it painted by Tina Sherratt, I think it looks far better in this colour scheme than the production colours Just to add further curiosity to this piece, below are photos of what is thought to be a prototype of Drac Terriblius owned by Christine Clarke (who supplied the photos) in much more muted greens & browns and with completely different & much smaller wings which really change the look of the piece.
