Drake (Tactics A2)

The Drake is the largest species of monster in Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift. Dragons of various forms and colors, they have very high HP and Attack scores, but low Weapon Defense.
Drakes have a variety of abilities in their two skillsets that harness the powers of the three basic black mage elements: Fire, Ice, and Lightning. The Breath skillset is made up of mainly damage-dealing moves, while Wyrmcraft focuses on buffing and debuffing abilities.
