Drakes

Drakes are young Dragons. They share the same abilities as their elders, but weaker due to their younger age. It takes centuries before a Drake matures into a Dragon. The same rule for Dragons apply for Drakes, but of course it is easier to defeat them.

In Ultima VI, Drakes seemed to be quite small. This was changed in Ultima VII, where Drakes now appear to be only a little smaller than Dragons.

They can be found everywhere where Dragons can be found, again, Dungeon Destard is the best place to look.

Lore
''This creature is a dragon that has not yet fully grown to adulthood, a process that takes several hundred years. Like its mature relatives, this creature can also breathe fire and fly. It is commonly found in the lair of a dragon.''

- from "Fellowship", Ultima VII
