A small but powerful dragon, particularly adept amongst its kin at manipulating the currents of air that surround it. It can exhale powerful blasts of wind.

Useful Info

Wind drakes are one of the least deadly lesser dragons, but they are still capable of irritating and injuring adventurers. Their Air Magic can pummel you with smite-targeted wind damage or push you around the battlefield, and they have a naturally-occurring Deflect Missiles effect at all times. They can be encountered in the Enchanted Forest, and can be summoned by enemies with the Summon Drakes spell.

Abilities: Wind blast (pushes you away)

Tips & Tricks

Airstrike deals significantly more damage to flying targets, so try not to be airborne while wandering the woods. Djinni should consider them significantly more dangerous than normal.
