Most stand as tall and long as house cats and have charcoal-colored scales and membranous wings just translucent enough to pass for shadows. Attracted to shiny materials, they employ deception, teamwork, and even rudimentary traps to create opportunities to make off with ill-gotten gains. Shadow drakes have a particular fascination and admiration for umbral dragons—a notable exception to the norm for drakes and dragons. **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 16' hp: 28 hp_misc: null immunities: - paralyzed - sleep items: null knowledge_checks: dc: 16 skills: - Arcana languages: - Draconic level: 2 melee: - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: 1d10+3 type: piercing name: jaws plus_damage: null to_hit: 11 traits: - finesse - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: 1d8+3 type: bludgeoning name: tail plus_damage: null to_hit: 11 traits: - agile - finesse name: Shadow Drake perception: 6 proactive_abilities: - action_cost: Two Actions critical_failure: null critical_success: null description: The shadow drake makes one bite Strike and two tail Strikes 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 shadow drake makes one bite Strike and two tail Strikes in any order.' requirements: null success: null traits: null trigger: null - action_cost: Two Actions critical_failure: null critical_success: null description: A shadow drake spits a ball of black liquid that explodes into a cloud of frigid black shadow.
