They retain their true-blooded forebears'' resistance to electricity and affinity for sandy environs. Desert drakes'' scales range in coloration from rust-brown to light tan and ocher shades, mimicking the colors of the dunes they call home. Desert drakes are among the lightest and most compact of the drakes, though this shouldn''t be mistaken for frailty. Their swooped-back horns and feather-thin wings are adapted to make burrowing as easy as possible. Indeed, a desert drake''s powerful neck makes wriggling through sand and other loose scree as easy as walking for it. **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 24' hp: 135 hp_misc: null immunities: - paralyzed - unconscious items: null knowledge_checks: dc: 24 skills: - Arcana languages: - Draconic level: 8 melee: - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: 2d12+8 type: piercing name: Fangs plus_damage: - formula: 1d6 type: electricity to_hit: 20 traits: null - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: 2d10+8 type: bludgeoning name: Tail plus_damage: - formula: null type: Push 5 feet to_hit: 20 traits: - reach 10 feet name: Desert Drake perception: 15 proactive_abilities: - action_cost: Two Actions critical_failure: null critical_success: null description: The desert drake makes two Fangs Strikes and one Tail Strike in any order. effect: null effects: null failure: null frequency: null full_description: null generic_description: null name: Draconic Frenzy range: null raw_description: '**Draconic Frenzy** [Two Actions] The desert drake makes two Fangs Strikes and one Tail Strike in any order.' requirements: null success: null traits: null trigger: null - action_cost: Two Actions critical_failure: null critical_success: null description: The desert drake spits a ball of electrically charged sand to a range of 60 feet that explodes into a cloud with a 15-foot-radius __burst__.
