Description
The vandalraug, or battle drake, is the "heavy war horse" of the greater drakes, easily domesticated into service as a flying battle mount and able to carry a heavily armored warrior with¬ out sacrificing maneuverability or speed. It is the largest of the greater drakes and one of the most common. The vandalraug is often domesticated by orcs.
Scale coloration covers a broader range than in most greater drake species. The most common scale colors are green (ranging from olive to a dark forest green), brown (from a tan to a dark coffee color), dark gray or black, and the occasional reddish-orange. Each specimen has scales of a single color, with wings of a slightly lighter shade. Since their scales are often the color of chromatic dragons, vandalraugs are easily mistaken for dragon hatchlings. Regardless of scale coloration, all vandalraugs have orange eyes with black, slitted pupils in the manner of many reptiles.
