Fang Verbs

To summon your drake, trace the fang.
To dismiss your drake, turn the fang.
To remove your bond to the fang, BREAK it.
[The drake fang is bonded to you without charges.]
You turn a wickedly pointed drake fang with Nature's Canopy emerald inlay at a prodigious forest drake, and it immediately struggles to remain coherent. Leaves, creepers, and chunks of emerald-infused bark begin to collapse until the final tendril of vine is hauntingly consumed by the fang, merging with the inlaid pattern upon it.
You trace the outline of twisting vines inlaid upon your drake fang, and in response they begin to writhe and break away from their confines, eventually extending tendrils down to the ground. The collection of tendrils continues to grow as leaves, creepers, and even layers of emerald-infused bark appear to self-generate from within the writhing mass. Finally, razor-sharp teeth and incandescent eyes emerge as the myriad components achieve synchronicity in their form and purpose, and a prodigious forest drake takes shape, locking its gaze with yours.
You also see a prodigious forest drake with scales of Nature's Canopy emerald tipped bark...

Drake Verbs

The forest drake is a leafy amalgam of woody detritus, held together by snarls of vines and creepers. Unusually massive, it is the length of two full-grown Gor'Togs and is protected by layers of scaled bark infused with Nature's Canopy emerald that cover its body. The creature is constantly changing and reforming, its sinuous, low-slung body supported by four legs. Its maw is crowded with razor-sharp teeth, and its eyes glow with an eerie, yet somehow forcefully subdued, incandescence.

Moving cautiously, you brush your hand lightly across the forest drake's thick, emerald-infused bark.
You slowly push your hand upon a leafy section of the forest drake and it sinks deep into the writhing foliage. Feeling a tendril wrap around your wrist you quickly pull away!
Noticing a particularly errant tendril of vine, you subtly move to pull upon it -- only to find that the forest drake has quickly decohered and reconstructed itself so that its gaping maw is now looking directly at you!
You make a concentrated effort to move your body in rhythm with the undulating creepers and vines emerging from the forest drake.
Unable to resist the urge and throwing thoughts of self-preservation aside, you stretch your arms wide and lean in for a great bear hug with the forest drake. To your surprise and delight, the creature responds in kind as tendrils of vines and leafy creepers briefly consume you in a gentle canopy of nature's embrace!
Looking for attention, you tap a section of emerald-infused bark on the forest drake, and it rapidly reconstitutes in your direction.
You carefully remove bits of refuse caught within the writhing foliage of the forest drake, and the creature seems to preen in response!
You heartily cheer for the forest drake, and it quickly reconstitutes in your direction, vibrating its emerald-infused bark in a prismatic display of variegated green light!
Throwing caution to the wind, you delve both hands deep into the writhing foliage of the forest drake, searching for whatever mysteries may lie within. Your investigation is cut short, however, as the creature quickly forms a layer of emerald-infused bark to block your continued intrusions!
You gaze deeply into the incandescent eyes of the forest drake, briefly losing your sense of reality as the creature's exotic nature tugs at your hold on reality.
Emboldened by your own sense of self-worth, you unleash a powerful snarl in the direction of the forest drake. The creature responds in kind, reforming itself to a maw three times its usual size as it unleashes a bloodcurdling shriek at you in retaliation!
As you move to mount a prodigious forest drake, it quickly propagates to create a perfectly form-fitting capsule of hardened bark with leafy green overlay. Secure in your position, you confidently settle yourself as would a rightful heir to the throne.
You dismount from your drake.
