These Vicious Drakes are over 500 years old. While smaller than ancient dragons, they are massive, ranging from 50-60 feet long (nose to tail) and 15 feet tall (while on all four feet), with a mass of 10 tons.

Ancient vicious drakes subsist, partially, from the ambient magic of the weave. For the balance, they prefer to prey on Large to Gargantuan creatures.
