Custard the dragon had big sharp teeth, claws on his toes, and spikes on top. He had scales like a lizard. Despite his fierce appearance, he was a cowardly dragon who cried for a nice safe cage. He lived with Belinda and her other pets — a kitten, a mouse, and a little yellow dog.
This question is from the poem The Tale of Custard the Dragon by Ogden Nash. The examiner expects physical description (teeth, claws, spikes, scales) and his key character trait — cowardice — for full marks. Mention of his companions adds context but focus on his appearance and nature.
