 ==Tips & Tricks==
-*The Lair is an excellent [[branch]] to create a [[stash]] in, so hopefully you won't have any terribly valuable [[scroll]]s on you when you encounter one. If you do, consider dropping them before engaging.
 *If you have a source of fire resistance available, use it. At low levels, that breath can deal a serious amount of damage.
-*Unlike some other creatures with breath weapons, fire drakes don't have to catch their breaths between blasts of fire. Don't be surprised if a fire drake decides to spam its fire breath at you.
+==History==
+Fire drakes were replaced by [[rime drake]]s in [[0.18]].
