"Dragoon" is actually not a misspelling of "dragon". Dragoon is a word for mounted infantrymen/the cavalry and the name comes from a French firearm. Although the Cait Sith ride dragons, their dragon riders are officially called dragoons (ドラグーン隊) in the novel. Probably because they're technically cavalry, but with dragons instead of horses and the name "dragoon" is quite similar to "dragon".
