Drake, Magma

''This creature resembles a huge red worm. It swims effortlessly through the magma, and its total size is unknown, as most of its body is hidden in the magma.''

Tactics
Magma drakes prefer to hide in the molten lava and surprise their prey with a quick attack, leaping forth from the magma to strike with sudden savagery. Lacking an elemental attack, magma drakes will instead attempt to grapple and crush their prey, dragging them below the lava to a fiery doom if possible.

Description
Magma drakes look like huge worms, with large claws behind their head. They are covered with thick scales and seem entirely at home in the molten magma. They have two dark black eyes, and a thin flap covers their eyes when they swim though magma.

Magma drakes, like their fiery cousins, prefer open lava, volcanoes or magma fields in which to dwell, adding a fresh level of hazard to such environments. As such, they have few natural enemies, expect perhaps for those drakes, elemental and paraelemental beasts that are also able to survive in open magma.

Magma drakes are known for their odd fondness for cloth, especially that of a red hue. Although such items are soon destroyed by the drake‘s home environment, they nevertheless provide a curious fascination for the creatures.
