Forest Drake

Forest drakes are a primitive, degenerate cousin of the green dragon. Forest drakes have the intelligence of green dragons, and are little more than especially cunning predators. In Darkmoon Vale, forest drakes are known as caustic drakes.

Appearance

Forest drakes resemble green dragons in many ways. They have similar large leathery wings, with their wingspan normally being at least thirty feet across. Their heads have large emerald green eyes and a long snout filled with razor-sharp teeth. They have a long tail topped with a sharp bony spike. The biggest difference between forest drakes and their green dragon cousins is their lack of forearms. Their wings are positioned roughly where their arms would be, and they move bipedally. The layout of their body resembles that of a wyvern more than that of a dragon.

Abilities

Forest drakes possess the ability to spit balls of acid that burst into clouds of caustic mist on impact, eating away at victims' flesh and obscuring their vision. Like all drakes, forest drakes can draw on their draconic heritage to grant a brief boost of speed and strength. They are immune to the effects of acid, and can breathe air and water with equal ease.
