📍 Spawning
Drakes spawn in the Mountains, typically:

- Close to Moder summoning areas
They patrol open sky above snowy terrain.
⚔️ Behaviour
Drakes are ranged attackers.
They:
- Hover in the air.
- Fire frost projectiles from distance.
- Reposition after attacking.
- Maintain vertical advantage over players.
They rarely engage in melee.
❄ Damage Type
Frost damage slows movement and drains stamina.
Without frost protection, sustained hits can quickly overwhelm players.
🛠 Combat Strategy
- Use a bow for reliable ranged engagement.
- Fight in open areas with clear sightlines.
- Avoid climbing steep slopes while under attack.
- Maintain Frost Resistance Mead or wolf-tier protection.
- Use terrain cover when possible.
Drakes are especially dangerous when combined with Wolves or Stone Golems.

⚠ Threat Level
Drakes are not individually tanky, but they are dangerous due to:

- Attacking while players manage freezing status.
They are one of the main harassment enemies of the Mountains biome.
