Australian scientists grant girl's wish for a baby dragon After all, we promised Sophie we would look into it. In accordance with Sophie's request, the dragon was named Toothless and was modelled on the dragon from the Dreamworks movie How to Train Your Dragon. Earlier this week, Sophie wrote to the agency and asked it to create a dragon in a letter addressed "Hello lovely scientist." The agency initially replied that it was unable to create a dragon "of the fire breathing variety." However, following international media attention, the agency said on Friday it had created a handheld dragon of the species Seadragonus giganticus maximus in Melbourne. DreamWorks Studios phoned (seriously), saying they knew how to train dragons and wanted to speak with Sophie. The dreams of one little girl went viral," CSIRO said. Chad Henry, from the agency, said: "Being that electron beams were used to 3D print her, we are certainly glad she didn't come out breathing them instead of fire. Titanium is super strong and lightweight, so Toothless will be a very capable flyer. Mrs Lester said she received a call from the director of How to Train Your Dragon, who was planning to send Sophie a dragon. Someone from Dreamworks called this morning and the director had asked to ask Sophie why Toothless is a girl? They were fascinated that Sophie thought Toothless was a girl," she said.
