A small dragon, puffing clouds of smoke.

Useful Info

Fire drakes are one of the lesser kinds of dragon, but they're still one of the more dangerous creatures one can encounter in the Lair. They're fast, have a fiery breath that does 3d12 fire damage, and retreat when wounded only to resume their attack once they've regained some distance.

Tips & Tricks

The Lair is an excellent branch to create a stash in, so hopefully you won't have any terribly valuable scrolls 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.
