Custard the dragon is described as a cowardly creature who cries for a nice safe cage. He has big sharp teeth, spikes on top, scales underneath, and daggers on his toes. Despite his fierce appearance, he is mocked by Belinda and her other pets for being timid, though he proves his bravery by fighting the pirate.
The question is from the poem The Tale of Custard the Dragon by Ogden Nash. Examiners expect you to mention both his physical description (teeth, spikes, scales, daggers) and his personality (cowardly/timid nature, contrast with actual bravery). For 2 marks, one point on appearance and one on character is sufficient. Note: No source passage for this poem was provided, so the answer draws on the prescribed poem itself.
