Description
Hailing from the rugged highlands of Runeterra, the Mountain Drake is as imposing as the craggy peaks it calls home. These benevolent goliaths are intertwined with the bedrock of their mountainous domains. Their scales are as hard as granite, a rough-hewn armor impervious to the mortal blade, reflecting the formidable essence of the earth itself. Their command over the earth magics is innate, an embodiment of the very land they guard and nurture.
But for all their fearsome appearance, the Mountain Drakes belong to the most tranquil breed of their kin. They're rarely stirred to ire, exhibiting a contemplative patience that rivals the ageless stones. The creatures of the mountains look upon the drakes as silent sentinels, protectors by their mere presence; their steady, watchful gaze is enough to deter the boldest of predators.
Among the various creatures of the highlands, the Mountain Drakes often adopt a guardian role, taking flocks under their wide-spanning wings, providing refuge and sanctuary against the frequent dangers of the untamed wilds. To the nomadic tribes that roam the alpine routes, the sight of a Mountain Drake circling the skies above is a harbinger of safety, a sign that their caravans will pass unmolested.
In the great diversity of dragonkind in Ionia, these firstborn females bearing the essence of earthen runes command a particular reverence. They are regarded not as mere beasts, but as primal spirits of the land—a living, breathing facet of Runeterra's enduring strength.
