Draaki

Draaki CR 1/2

Thin scales cover this humanoid’s body as it crouches in the darkness, its beady eyes carefully regarding everything around it. The frill along its head and neck speak of draconic ancestry, as do the horns jutting from the creature’s skull, but it certainly doesn’t seem very regal or powerful.

TACTICS

Before Combat Draaki evaluate threats from as far away as possible and if it doesn’t seem like a valuable exchange is likely, avoid combat at all costs (though if they far outnumber a foe there is little hesitation).

During Combat Draaki close and flank with each other, attacking as many times as possible as quickly as possible and focusing on the same target.

Morale Draaki are cowardly and flee as soon as they are damaged.

The lowly draaki once ruled the underworld, cast down long ago. All of their race were transformed by calamity, made into scavenger’s endless caves, though now they are far more cautious of what lurks in the dark.

Draaki are around 6 and 1/2 ft. tall and weigh about 230 pounds.
