Description
This ferocious creature looks like a red-and-yellow scaled dragon, but with only two legs. Degerate cousins to red dragons with all the rage and temper but little of the reasoning or intelligence. However if trained from a young age, they can become well disciplined and loyal companions/mounts.
Flame drakes mate once a year. Males play no part in raising their offspring, and abandon their partners soon after mating. Females lay clutches of two or three eggs in secluded mountain nests, and raise their hatchlings for only 2 years before rejoining their packs and abandoning their offspring to their fates. Fire drakes mature into young flame drakes in 5 years, adult flame drakes in 10 years, and can live up to 150 years, however they can hibernate for up to 10 years at a time practically halting the aging process for the duration, allowing for a longer life span. They generally grow to 12-16 feet long and weigh 1,500 pounds.
