Poisondrakes are uncommon but not unheard of. They tend to have a bad reputation outside of the drake society due to their poisonous nature, but like all intelligent creatures, they can be friend or foe. However, one should not forget their power. Always show friendship to a kindly poisondrake, lest you make yourself their enemy.
