And that is correct. Drake is a smaller dragon, with 4 legs. This is the only piece in the entire book that is incorrect. Wyvern's are the 2 legged creatures and there are fire breathing ones. So even looking at old lore itself...

In Europe, specifically Sweden, drake is synonymous with Lindorm, an enormous serpent.

The Lindworm is either a dragon or serpent monster. In British heraldry, lindworm is a technical term for a wingless serpentine monster with two clawed arms in the upper body. In Norwegian heraldry a lindorm is the same as the wyvern in British heraldry.

(which again comes back to a "wyvern").
