This attack produces the equivalent of tornado-strength winds. Huge cratures within the cone are knocked down, and large or smaller creatures are blown away (taking damage as appropriate). Creatures in the cone may attempt DC 30 Fortitude saves to resist the effect. ### Gaseous Form (Su) A storm drake can assume gaseous form at will as a standard action. While gaseous, the drake has a fly speed of 60 feet (perfect) and is unaffected by wind of any kind. It can't attack or use its breath weapon while gaseous, but it can use spell-like abilities normally. This ability is otherwise identical with the gaseous form spell. ### Seize (Ex) A storm dragon can start a grapple when it hits with both claw attacks, as though it had the grab ability. If it grapples a creature of size Medium or smaller, it squeezes each round for automatic claw damage with a successful grapple check. #### ecology **Terrain** Cold hills **Organization** Solitary or pair **Treasure** Standard **Advancement** 31–38 HD (Gargantuan); 39–45 HD (Colossal) Also called cloud dragons or wind dragons, these enormous creatures live in the clouds themselves. When the creature is at rest, a storm drake’s scales have a pearl- escent sheen. A happy cloud dragon shimmers with golden highlights, while an angered one turns dark gray, like a thundercloud. The drake’s silver wings are nearly translucent. A storm drake spends most of its life soaring through the clouds, enjoying weather in all its variable forms. It typically makes its lair on a misty mountain peak. Storm drakes speak Draconic and Auran. Some also learn Common or Giant to converse with creatures living near their lair.
