Cannot be forcibly dismounted or teleported while on your mount unless you allow it.

Multiattack. The guard drake makes one Bite attack and one Tail attack.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (2d6 + 9) piercing damage.
Breath. You or Drake can exhale a 30 ft cone of acid, cold, fire, lightening, or poison damage (you choose). On a failed DEX save each creature in the cone takes 12d8 damage of the appropriate type, and half that on a successful save. Use this feature up to once per long rest unless you expend a 3rd level spell slot for additional uses.
Infused Attack. When witnessing a target within 30 ft take damage, can add 1d6 acid damage to the attack.
Reflexive Resistance. When either you or the drake takes damage while you’re within 30 feet of each other, you can use your reaction to give yourself or the drake resistance to that instance of damage. You can use this reaction a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Your drake is an EPIC creature.
Description
A guard drake is a reptilian creature created out of dragon scales by means of a bizarre and grisly ritual. When trained properly, a drake is obedient and territorial, which makes it an excellent watch beast that can follow simple commands.
Tiamat’s cult practices the ritual to create guard drakes, as do other groups that are skilled in arcana and associated with Dragons. The ritual requires a chromatic dragon’s aid; the dragon typically helps to reward its allies or worshipers with a valuable servant.
The ritual, which takes several days, requires 10 pounds of fresh dragon scales (donated by the dragon allied with the group), a large amount of fresh meat, and an iron cauldron. When the process is complete, a Small egg emerges from the cauldron and hatches within a few hours.
A newly hatched guard drake imprints upon the first creature that feeds it (usually the one planning to train it), establishing an aggressive but trusting bond with that individual. A guard drake is fully grown within two to three weeks and can be trained in the same length of time. It is the equivalent of a guard dog in terms of what it can be trained to do.
A guard drake resembles the type of dragon it was created from, but with a wingless, squat, muscular build. A drake can’t reproduce, nor can its scales be used to make other guard drakes.
