Editing Drakes (section)

=== Appearance ===
Like their Dragon ancestors, Drakes possess sharp claws; if appropriately sharpened, they are tough enough to pierce [[Antinium]] carpace.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/10/14/3-23-l/ Chapter 3.23]</ref> Their necks are adorned with spines, which can bleach over time for certain individuals, akin to balding in humans.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/06/25/6-28/ Chapter 6.28]</ref> They also possess tails, the positioning of which is a large part of Drake body language.

Aside from neck spines and tails, Drakes have snouts, sharp teeth, slitted pupils, taloned feet and forked tongues.

Drakes have scales in a range of colors, with some even in coloration patterns. Green-scaled Drakes and blue-scaled Drakes are the most common, while very bright- or dark-colored are less common, even moreso without patterns. Even rarer are scales that have a bright glow or a unique flame coloration.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/08/21/5-13/ Chapter 5.13]</ref>

Drakes bear a certain resemblance to [[Lizardfolk]], but it is a grievous ''faux pas'' to point this out to a Drake.
