Guardian of the Island

As you turn the page in the old book, you notice a this blotchy page. It's old. Very old. The text appears to be a language long forgotten, but you can see a fainted image of something long... something ancient.
The image itself has rather held up its shape besides being faded. You can make out a long body, strong features such as a head, legs, and tail. Whatever, or whoever, this creature was it seems that the surrounding citizens of old-time Whiskerton either praised or feared this beast.
The only actual text you can make out is its name: "Felidraco Longus." Interesting.
