It is also among the most evil of the elemental drakes. Fire drakes range in color from blood red to a dazzling vermilion and are often mistaken for young red dragons, aided by the fact that the two creatures share similar territories. They enjoy capitalizing on this mistaken identity, bargaining that most people would do anything to avoid angering a red dragon. The eyes of a fire drake are fiery yellow. Most fire drakes avoid direct contact with red dragons. Fire giants occasionally tame these drakes as pets or guardians, though the drakes have no love for the giants. ### Combat A fire drake often feigns surprise when encountered, attempting to draw opponents into range of its attacks of opportunity. Thanks to its Combat Reflexes feat, it may make four such attacks each round.
