Earthdrakes are some of the less-seen drakes, though they are just as common as other alchedrakes (firedrakes, waterdrakes, and airdrakes). They live in large caves and have evolved in darkness, making sunlight harmful to them. Because of this, they can actually see in the dark slightly better than most other drakes.

Subspecies. There are three subspecies of earthdrakes: sanddrakes, stonedrakes, and cavedrakes. They are distinguished by the number of hit points they have, and their subspecies determines their armor class (use the table below). There is no particular difference between each type of earthdrake, and the only purpose of each subspecies is for social reasons and to find their AC.

Hit Points	Subspecies	AC
37-51	Sanddrake	12
52-60	Stonedrake	13
61-75	Cavedrake	14
