Desert Drake
A pale, lion-sized wyrm ambushes isolated travelers from the dunes, a faint and dangerous echo of its far mightier adamantine kin.
These distant cousins of creatures like adamantine dragons are a pale echo that lacks their relatives' power and intelligence. Desert drakes are nonetheless dangerous ambush predators, preying upon isolated desert travelers and outposts for food and supplies.
