Description
Drakes are almost always found in the company of dragons, although some adolescents have been found in isolation.

Lore




Notable Examples

 * Rudyom of Cove has a pet drake in, which may spit small flames at the Avatar as they pass by it.
 * Although not mentioned in the documentation, the frost dragons of the Ice Dragon's Lair do have young drakes in their lair.

Trivia

 * A funny mishap happened when translating to German: drakes were translated as "Erpel", which is a male duck (Engl. "mallard"). The confusion clearly came from the fact that "drake" can either refer to a type of dragon or a male duck.
