Change Shape. The drake magically polymorphs into a humanoid that has a challenge rating no higher than its own, or back into its true form. It reverts to its true form if it dies. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying is absorbed or borne by the new form (the drake's choice).
In a new form, the drake retains its alignment, hit points, Hit Dice, ability to speak, proficiencies, Legendary Resistance, lair actions, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores, as well as this action. Its statistics and capabilities are otherwise replaced by those of the new form, except any class features or legendary actions of that form.

Description
Being the offspring of a Black Dragon and fire drakes, they had a breath weapon that was composed of both acid and flame, arising from both sides of their heritage.
The only known case of this mutant creature being created was when the Thayan Red Wizard Marek Rymüt bred them in the 1360s DR while he was a resident of the city of Innarlith. He used the male black dragon great wyrm Insithryllax and female firedrakes in order to create them.
They would attack opponents with their breath weapons as well as their sharp teeth and claws, and had wings that allowed them to fly.
