Drake

Native to all parts of Teth, Drakes are a very unusual family of lizard-like creatures that have a pair of bat-like wings in addition to four legs and a tail. Drakes are thoroughly unique in a number of fashions; they are generally reptilian in nature; they are covered in scales, have forked-tongues and reproduce by laying eggs, but they have warm blood and, including the wings, have six limbs rather than four. Although there are many species of Drake, all fit this broad pattern and there are no other Drake-like animals to fill the gap between Drakes and genuine reptiles.

In Amethgare there are six common breeds of Drake; the Shen Grai, or Common Grey Drake; the Dorai Khen, or Forest Drake; the Gethen Brae, or Yellow Desert Drake; the Gethen Lare, or Red Desert Drake; the Tora Bae, or Little Drake; and the Neth Be’Yan, or Great Northern Drake.
