Abyssal Drakes are demonic predators whose silhouettes resemble dragons at a distance. They are not true dragons, nor are they descended from the powers that shaped the planes. Their bodies are shaped by abyssal evolution, shadow-rich flesh, and predatory adaptation. In present ELDRA, they are most often encountered near unmanaged crossings, abandoned pact sites, or territories where demonic authorities have failed to enforce their own agreements.
