Spiretop Drake Youngling Swarm Tactics[edit]
The spiretop drake youngling swarm tries to snatch any shiny trinkets (small and non-combat only) from the target using snatch and flyby attack. If it has relieved its target, and any other visible targets of any visible shiny trinkets, it flies back to its nest. It will fight along side a parent spiretop drake but if it is badly wounded it will fly away.
