Shadow drakes are tiny, fast, greedy, and froward. Tending toward the fringes of society, they are master thieves, picking locks with their prehensile tails and hoarding their ill-gotten treasure in dusty attics or unused towers.

Appearance

Pure and lustrous black in youth, shadow drakes turn grey as they approach venerable ages.

Ecology

Shadow drakes can live up to 200 years. They move effortlessly in shadow and their very breath can extinguish magic light. Some shadow drakes can serve powerful evil spellcasters as a familiar.
