Description
The Water Dreasle is the master of the world’s coastlines, marshes, and hidden grottoes. While it shares the signature elongated frame of its kin, its physical appearance varies by lineage: some are armored in slick, tight-knit drake-scales coated in hydrophobic oil, while others are entirely furred, possessing a pelt of dense, weasel-soft hair so thick it acts as a natural dry-suit against the freezing depths.
Unlike its winged or mountain-climbing cousins, the Water Dreasle is most commonly bred with broad, simple mammal paws featuring thick webbing between the toes. These act as powerful paddles, propelling the beast at terrifying speeds beneath the surface. Though it cannot breathe underwater, its massive lungs allow it to hold its breath for nearly half an hour, making it a premier choice for sneaky underwater attacks on docks or ships.
In battle, the Water Dreasle is a phantom. It is known to lurk just beneath the waterline, with only its sensitive, fine whiskers breaking the surface to detect the vibrations of approaching prey. When it strikes, it lunges upward, using its whip-like tail to pivot mid-air while swinging a hilt-clamped blade in a devastating, wet arc.
