03-20-05, 08:04 PM Hey all, Im playing a Gnome Windrider (prestige class from Masters of the Wild) and my character is starting to get interested in drakes serving as a chosen mount. From looking through the books I have been able to find 2 drake species, and one on this site.
1. Rage Drake from monster manual III
2. Stone Drake from Races of Stone
3. Temporal Drake

Now my question is are there any other species of drakes?
Thanks!

Game well, game often.

03-21-05, 05:20 AM Aardvark is right, there are eight elemental drakes from Draconomicon: air, earth, fire, ice, magma, ooze, smoke, and water. These drakes have the same body plan as the wyvern (and in fact are distantly related to it): wings, hindlegs, no forelegs. That's what I envision as the drake body plan.

There's also a mind drake, a psionic dragon from the Legend of Sardior series in the concluded Mind's Eye column.

What's the alignment of that Prestige Class? If LG or NG it should qualify (with the DM's permission), to use the spiked felldrake from Draconomicon. The dragonnel isn't a drake, but it's still a lesser dragon that can serve as a mount.
