Drake

Drakes are small members of the dragon family which are often domesticated, and are prized for strength, resilience, and their keen intellect. Make no mistake however, in the wild these creatures are ferocious predators, which hunt in highly coordinated packs, bringing both tactics and ferocity to bear on the task of taking down their quarry.

There are three members of this species that the author has observed, each with their own strengths. They are all highly intelligent, and seem to defer to the largest and strongest among them, which would appear to be the leader of a given pack.

Crested Drakes
No larger than a dog or cat, these bipedal dragons nevertheless possess a well developed set of jaws that can deliver a strong bite. They appear to be more mobile than their larger cousins, and use swarm tactics to overpower larger targets.

Spitting Drakes
Around the size of a large wolf, these long, snakelike drakes move along the ground on four clawed legs. They too have the capability of delivering a nasty bite, but their primary mode of attack is an acidic spit that they can fire with great accuracy at nearby targets.

Horned Drakes
More heavily built than the spitting drakes, these quadrupedal dragons have a fearsome set of jaws for tearing prey apart. More terrible than their jaws, however, are the truly frightening set of horns that crest their brow. These are often used as part of a charge to gore their prey, dealing massive damage. If you encounter this beast, close quickly, or flee swiftly. They are known to charge when provoked.
