Spitting Drake

Canyon ambushers that vanish against rock and strike before you hear the frills flare.

Group, stealthy, organized. Spitting drakes are wolf-sized, low-slung lizard-drakes with pebbly scales, chameleon skin, and frills that flare when they startle or attack. They favor canyons and overlooks where they can bask in the sun and ambush travelers below.
