Crawling Drake

This creature's common name is something of a misnomer, as this dragon-like creature has no legs, just a scaly, sinuous, serpentine body and a set of wings set above a thickening in it's trunk midway down it's body. Able to stand up by propping itself up with it's wings, these drakes deliver vicious wounds with their snapping jaws.

Their origin is speculated to be a mixture of dark things of the underlands, such as a fang dragon, mixed with other creatures from the outer realms of cruelty and madness. Able to speak a few words of broken draconic and undercommon, crawling drakes are not espically intelligent, but they are tremendously fearsome, nasty and cruel.

Presented are three forms, wyrmling, adult and methelusean versions.

COMBAT
Crawling drakes are crafty combatants and adept stalkers, and so will ambush their prey when possible. Once they pick a target, they will attempt to crush them in their coils while delivering bite after bite.

Constrict (Ex): On a successful grapple check, a wyrmling crawling drake deals 1d4+3 points of damage. Adult drakes deal 1d6+7 points of damage, and Methusalean drakes deal 1d8+11 points of damage.
