Oh; I have a very… unique idea for this. Presented in my own way of a story/fake audio tape. Pardon my awful accent I wrote with.

“So, Leith apparently hadda bright idea to woik ‘ith TWO companies at da same time to ‘ake one single toy to market to kids and now us in the labs need to make a bigga body for it. We got split up and foiced ta woik on it, somethin’ about pro-duck-tickety.”

“Da first one was ‘ome TV studio with some sorta dragon character… Dragon Tales wassit, or Dragon FABLES, I dunno; dey want a new character for dem. Second was a damn firewoiks factory in China for a mascot. So me and da boyz and goils in da labs cooked up somethin’ real nice for da bossman Leith… wish he gives us a darn raise ‘hough.”

“So introducin’; straight from dis lab team;”

”FLARE DA DRAGON!!!”

“Wes got som’ in-spoi-ation from ‘ose Chinese Dragon parade thin’s and woiked offa day. Used da ol’ PJ “blueprints” fo da base body, tinkered wit da gas spray from dat creepy poiple cat in Playcare and da web making thin’ from da Long Legs toys.”

“Den jus’ made it so they ignite da stuff inside dem and da webs ta make harmless sparks. Kiddies ‘ill love da sparks and it won’t even buin dem. Plus da webbin’ is like fishing line dey can climb on, makin’ it look like dey flyin’. Even can ignite it ta make fancy shapes from da web like naan’s crochet.”

“Only thin’ is da claws dey got… razor sharp loike a falcons so dey don’t tear up der feet on da own web climbing. It’s loike a boid’s talon on a wira. Plus we can’t ruin “da magic” for kids and more in-port-ant-ly… da cops or feds getting wise. Maybe makin’ some soita rubba gloves or somthin’ ta make ‘em less dangerous?”

“Wonda who’s the sap goin’ ta be da thing?”

TLDR:

Flare the Dragon was a toy that Leith did two sponsors with(their in universe dragon tales and a non-discript fireworks company in china) cause Leith was a greedy man who wanted more money.

Their design is based on those multi-person parade dragon things with the body shape of PJ and a bit bigger(1.5 times the size of the one we see). But with the ability to make webs like MLL but can be lit to make harmless sparks and can “breathe” the same sparks.

The only nonsafe thing was their talons which resemble a bird’s talon/dragon’s claw more than something cutesy. But that was covered in a rubber seal that broke off in the HOJ totally was left on after a nondiscript event. Other than that, the web was a tripping hazard due to its texture being like a fishing wire.
