Glitter and Gold. The Coin Drake is drawn to valuables and will try to steal or consume any precious metals in sight. If a creature has visible gold, silver, or copper on their person, the Coin Drake has advantage on attack rolls against that creature.
Shining Visage. The Coin Drake is difficult to look at. Any creature that looks directly at the Coin Drake must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be Blinded until the start of their next turn.
Multiattack: The Coin Drake makes three attacks, one with its Bite, one with its Claws, and one with its Wing Talons.
Bite: Melee weapon attack, +6 to hit, reach 10ft, one target. Hit 10(1d12+4) piercing damage.
Claws: Melee weapon attack, +6 to hit, reach 5ft, one target. Hit 8(1d8+4) slashing damage.
Wing Talons: Melee weapon attack, +6 to hit, reach 5ft, one target. Hit 11(2d6+4) slashing damage. If the target is medium or smaller, it is grappled(escape DC 13). The Coin Drake can only grapple one creature at a time in this way and cannot use its Wing Talons against another target.
Frost Breath(Recharge 5-6): The Coin Drake exhales a blast of frozen air and ice in a 15ft cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, taking 27(6d8) cold damage on a failed save, and half as much on a successful one.
Description
Attitudes of Conquest. Coin Drakes are perhaps the most intelligent of their kind. Quick to anger, and good at finding themselves in places they shouldn't be, Coin Drakes often encroach on human settlements that store large amounts of silver. Their natural habitat is the Icect Wastelands, where their affinity for the cold helps them survive in the harsh territory, but a Coin Drake's greed is a powerful thing. They often leave their mountainous homes and find mines or towns that are dedicated to the production or refinement of silver. The Drakes do not seem to hoard the wealth they steal, instead ingesting it as a delicacy.
A Coin Drake can consume several valuables, but their favorite treat is silver coins. Why the coin form of metal appeals to them so much is unknown but they will seek out coins before any other kind of wealth. Once they have eaten their fill, they will return home to their frozen caves to rest. The landscape around their dens is usually littered with bits and pieces of silverware, shields, or silvered weapons that the Drake found distasteful.
They will also often decorate themselves in their spoils, keeping their favorite pieces as trophies.
Decorated Thieves. A Coin Drake has favorite things that it has stolen, from large plates to intricate jewels or chains. The Drake will, to the best of its ability, wear these favored items on its person, and the effect can be staggering to the eye.
