Behaviour

Origin
Diminution 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.
