Behaviour
Crater Drake is intelligent, vain, long-memoried; it remembers slights for centuries and rewards loyalty in kind. Its Neutral Evil alignment shapes how it engages with the world — predictable in tendency, even when unpredictable in detail. It is intelligent enough to plan, scheme, or remember.
Origin
Crater Drake is introduced in Kobold Press's Tome of Beasts 2 (2020). Dragons in D&D canon trace to Bahamut and Tiamat, with each lineage having its own founding myth. Within a campaign, its existence anchors a region with the kind of weight only an old, named species carries.
