Dracaena plants are quite variable. Some are very tree-like, some of them resemble house plants, with modest stems and leaves. Some have leaves that are soft and droopy, others have very thick stiff leaves.
The differences are not just dependent on species, they are also dependent on climate. The same plant grown in a different climate can sometimes look like a different species (this is also true of many alpine plants).
I think the VMS plant looks more like Plantago than Dracaena (or a few other plants I've mentioned previously), but it could look like some varieties of Dracaena, and if there is an association between dragons and sap and this were intended as a sap-dragon, then Plantago wouldn't fit very well.
