Waterdrakes are often seen beneath ships, typically in small groups. They are often confused with sea serpents, due to their water-themed attacks and their aquatic residence, though they are distinguished by their four legs and fins. They can survive normally on land for up to twelve hours. They do not have wings, and therefore cannot fly.

Subspecies. There are three subspecies of waterdrakes: lakedrakes, riverdrakes, and seadrakes. They are distinguished by the number of hit points they have, and their subspecies determines their armor class (use the table below). There is no particular difference between each type of waterdrake, and the only purpose of each subspecies is for social reasons and to find their AC.

Hit Points	Subspecies	AC
37-51	Lakedrake	12
52-60	Riverdrake	13
61-75	Seadrake	14
