Introduced in Tuesday Tidings 111.
Description
Small but thick scaled plates cover the drake from head to claws while thicker, angular plates descend along the creature's back. His tail swishes from side to side, leaving flickering sparks of electricity in its wake. With a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth and quill-like barbs protruding menacingly from the tip of his tail, the drake is built for survival -- either by overpowering his foes or enduring and outlasting their attacks.
Recall
Long feared by sailors that ply the eastern oceans, the crackling hiss and yowl of the hurricane drake's flight means certain death for all but the most prepared or evasive of seafarers. These creatures of the sky are ferocious predators, and rumors of ever larger marine life being carried away in their claws remains one of the few agreed upon, not exaggerated observations claimed by seafarers.
Charged with wind and lightning and willing to fight for any meal or infringement of their territory, the drakes are thought to be distant relatives of mountain-dwelling wyverns. They spend much of their time aloft, coasting on thermals and soaring within and between the clouds. Migrating with the seasonal monsoons, the drakes have been observed dancing and diving around waterspouts and the edges of typhoons.
Though recently settling on the Pivilho volcano, the drakes have largely left the islanders alone, seemingly preferring to hunt over water. However, repeatedly corroborated claims of seeing drakes flying while carrying fully grown oxen suggest that they are more than able to hunt terrestrial prey.
The hurricane drakes are known to cast the Swirling Winds, Vertigo, Mark of Arhat, Lightning Bolt, and Chain Lightning spells.
They are not known to carry loot in locked boxes.
