I don't mean to say that the movie developers made the dragon. I think we're operating on a different fundamental belief of the dragon's existence or not. I'm not saying the dragon ever existed before, it was just a hypothetical response to your first point (which admittedly I misread).

What I mean to say is that I agree the dragon could never have been the Death Song. Of course the movie developers didn't develop it for that purpose because I don't think it was ever developed as a Songwing in the first place.

In the 'canonical' maps and cards, it is listed with 3 different names, two of which practically gibberish and one of which calls it the Torcherous Thunderfire. Hamilton claims about half are real and half are for decoration on the map.

I'm beginning to understand where you're coming from though. Upon closer inspection (of the concept art image where it has multitudes of dragons across the franchise) it does seem like it has the roots in inspiration, but I'd likely attribute it to more of an internal name used for the dragon rather than actually making it to the franchise (great image btw, where did you find it?).

I can agree on its existence as an internally named species (likely by Marlet himself or another art supervisor), but placing it in the Strike class I'd argue jumps the gun a little
