Salamanders are reported to possess the ability to change their size at will, either extending or diminishing as they please. Fire Drakes Drakes are typically described as smallish cousins to dragons. Like some of the bigger animals, they breathe fire. This trait, in turn, results in their odiforous quality which has been described as a cross between a chicken coop and rotten eggs. They are benevolent creatures, who, when residing in a human domicile, will keep the firewood dry and bless the hearth.
Drakes expect their kindness to be returned and react negatively to human mistreatment.
When not residing with a human, they are usually found in wood piles or deep in an ancient forest. Typically they are nocturnal, being most active from nightfall until shortly after dawn.
