Iron Delta Lesser Fire Drake Group, Small, Stealthy, Organized, Intelligent Teeth and Claws (d8 damage 1 piercing) 6 HP 1 armor Close Special Qualities: Flaming Bile, Flight, Patience, Fire Resistant Plumage A flying, feathered, pack hunting, warm blooded lizard, able to vomit up a spray of oily bile that burns on contact with moisture. They have a complex pack structure, with the elderly and infirm guarding the nest while the able-bodied drakes hunt for food to fuel their insatiable metabolisms. While not large, they often tackle prey many times their own size, blinding it and maddening it with flames, then waiting for it to weaken from the burns before moving in for the kill. They have delicate digestion, and routinely build fire-pits full of brush and wood for cooking. After a large kill, lesser drakes are known to smoke meat for storage. They are mostly found nesting around palm trees, which they also harvest - it is suspected the palm oil is a key component of their bile. Instinct: To hunt
- Start Fires
- Blind with flaming bile
- Summon the pack with a screech
- Watch from on high
