Parent species: Humanoid
Drakes are created when an intelligent creature makes a blood pact with a dragon, developing a more draconic appearance and inheriting some of their powers. Drakes are uncommon but numerous enough to be known, though they tend to be reclusive.
Drake genes can be transmitted to their progeny, so long as at least one parent is a drake. If both parents are drakes, the child will automatically be a drake. If only one parent is, then the child has a fifty-fifty chance of being either a drake or the other parent’s species. No hybrids are possible.
Blood pacts cannot be retracted, and the changes are permanent. Because of this and the hereditary nature of drake genes, there are more born-drakes than ones created through a pact.
