The reptilian drakes ruled the world long before man, but were wiped out by a terrible cataclysm.

Now scattered remnants of their great race live on in unmapped jungles, forgotten valleys and dreaded isles. Walking with Drakes presents four new monsters for use with 4th Edition DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS.

CROWN DRAKE
Most explorers rank the Crown Drake as even more dangerous than the dreaded Fang Titan, due to the fact it usually hunts in packs.

MAPUSAURUS
Mapusaurus stood roughly the same size as Tyrannosaurus rex, but was sleeker and much more agile. Its skull was coated in keratin and covered in bony knobs and protrusions, giving it a fearsome crown. Most startling of all, the fossils of at least six Mapusaurus have recently been uncovered together, leading paleontologists to suggest they may have hunted in packs.

vertebrae from its spine was as tall as an adult human!

GOLIATH DRAKE
Lizardfolk harness these juggernauts to lead the vanguard in battle, carrying troops high above their enemies heads. Outside of combat, these docile giants migrate across the lost regions of the world in mighty herds.

ARGENTINOSAURUS
Probably the largest land animal ever to walk the earth, Argentinosaurus is classified as a titanosaur: the undisputed kings of the sauropod clan. Argentinosaurus grew to a monstrous 37 metres long (121 ft.), weighed an epic 100 tonnes, and stood as tall as a three story building. It was so immense, a single

RIDING DRAKE
These ostrich-like drakes roam the wilds in great herds. Humanoids often break them in as riding steeds, where their colourful plumage makes them highly prized status symbols.

SKY TITAN DRAKE

These giants are equally at home on land as they are in air, moving about on their wings like a man on crutches. They are powerful gliders, and are sometime broken in by stone giants to carry heavy loads between settlements.

Str 19 (+10) Dex 16 (+9) Wis 18 (+10) Con 20 (+11) Int 2 (+2) Cha 5 (+3) Alignment unaligned Languages -

QUETZALCOATLUS
This mighty pterosaur had a wingspan measuring a whopping 15 metres (49 ft), making it the largest known flying creature of all time. On the ground it stood as tall as a giraffe, leading some scientists to suggest it may actually have been too heavy to fly.

GALLIMIMUS
Youll probably recognize these dinosaurs from the famous stampede scene in Jurassic Park. Palaeontologists are now convinced that Gallimimus was covered in colourful feathers.
Riding Drake (Gallimimus) Level 6 Skirmisher Large natural beast (reptile, mount) XP 250 HP 74; Bloodied 37 Initiative +11 AC 20; Fortitude 18; Reflex 19; Will 17 Perception +5 Speed 8 Traits Scrambler The drake gains a +2 bonus to defenses against opportunity attacks and can move through enemies' spaces.
