Description
Crackjaw Drakes are rare, flying lizard predators that typically reside up in the bleak mountainous ranges of the Witch’s Spine. While it is rare for one to fly as far east as the Midlands or Marshlands to hunt, it does happen from time-to-time. Gutsy poachers will often hunt such drakes for many miles in hopes of slaying one: Crackjaw Drake blood is a powerful poison once it congeals into a thick, slimy substance that assassins and criminals can easily coat their blades with.
As hunters, Crackjaw Drakes are simple and mindless beasts. They are efficient killers however; their large size, and long necks and tails make them difficult to defend against. Their primary hunting patterns include swooping in to rend flesh and bone with claw and tooth, or scooping their prey up with their powerful tails and dashing them against the rocks below.
