Changes: Drake

Revision as of 17:29, 3 May 2021

Drakes were draconic creatures that were distantly related to wyverns.^{[citation needed]} They were smaller and not as powerful as dragons but were much easier to train, so they were commonly used as mounts.^[5]

They were often used as guards by dragons, or they were given to the dragons' humanoid servants.^[5]^[1]
