The Harpers' Read
A guard drake is a wingless draconic beast the Cult of the Dragon breeds and drills to fight beside its kobolds. Tough-scaled and loyal, it bites and harries in a pack; the cult raises them in a chosen dragon's element, so expect the breath-kind to match the master. Dangerous in numbers, manageable one at a time.
Encounters of Record
Fought among the cult's mixed war-bands in the Council of Waterdeep arc (43).
