Special Abilities
Thunder Drake
Drakes are reptilian beasts that compete in the wild against wolves, bears, and other modest predators. They are omnivores when required (although they prefer meat) and their slow, efficient metabolisms mean an amazing number of them can live in a given area.
- Thunder Drakes are the largest and most dangerous sorts of common drakes. They are large, frightening creatures, liberally equipped with teeth and claws just like all drakes, but by far their most potent weapon is their terrible howling roar. Thunder Drakes are among the most dangerous natural predators you will find in most lands, assuming you discount the far more terrible Dragons.

CombatTactics = Thunder Drakes are well aware of their Thunderous Roar, and will not hesitate to use it. They will usually stay clustered together so that as many of them as possible gain their Pack Ferocity bonus. They will close in using move actions until they can get their enemies in their areas of effect, and from there on they will seek to 'joust' with opponents, continually using move actions to fall back, keeping the distance open to at least fifteen feet or so.
- If they are forced into melee combat, they will accept Attacks of Opportunity to use a move action to set up flanks. This also triggers their Intimidating presence aura, and hopefully the Trembling condition combined with the damage they have inflicted with their Thunderous Roars will leave their foes 'softened up' sufficiently for melee attacks to end the combat.
- If they find that they are having trouble hitting with melee attacks, or their foes are warded against their damage, they will not hesitate to use Thunderous Roar even in tight melee conditions, Thunder Drakes are not completely immune to their own Roars, but they do have a lot of resistance against it.
- Thunder Drakes are proud and ferocious creatures. Once combat is engaged, they will not seek to flee, they fight to the death.
