Stonard
Where some Drawl ignore the earth and the connection to the rocks and stone themselves, these Drawl live within them. Much more connected to the elemental magic of the earth, their forms are often tougher and harder, with rocky protrusions and other hard surfaces along their massive bodies. The largest family of Drawl among the groups with the biggest wingspan, allowing them to ascend faster than any other of their species despite their size. They however do not so much fly, but rather, coast back down, giving them the loose nickname of Gargoyles. Despite this, these people always prefer peace and prosperity, and living simple lives among the great bounty of the earth.
