Drake

Large reptilian creatures that have been known to breathe fire. The method by which they breathe fire is unknown, though it is believed that different breeds of drake have different methods of fire breathing. The larger a drake becomes before its metamorphosis, the more its coloration clashes with that of its environment. The most common drakes stand 4 ft. at the shoulder and are 12 ft. long from head to tail. They have thick, overlapping scales and large horns that sweep backwards. Drakes undergo strange metamorphoses as they grow older, slowly transforming until they no longer resemble the species they belong to. Drakes that live for this long are known as Elderdrakes.
