Lair

Lair is a noun with several related meanings. In zoology and everyday usage, a lair is the dwelling place of a wild animal, especially a predator. Lairs are typically hidden refuges such as caves, burrows, hollows, nests, or other secluded locations where an animal rests, shelters its young, or hides from threats. The term can also describe a place of concealment used by criminals or by someone who remains out of sight.

In fiction and fantasy, lairs are commonly associated with dragons and monsters, where a lair may be described as a fortified or secret den that contains treasure or hoards and serves as a base of operations.

The game focuses on aerial combat against dragons and makes use of the PS3's motion-control features. It received mixed reviews, with criticism aimed at controls and camera, but it is noted for its visual design and ambition within its genre.
