The GaleForge3D Bestiary

High among the Moonveil Peaks, where waterfalls tumble through the clouds and moonlight settles across the mountains, lives the elusive Moondrake. By day, these gentle creatures can often be found curled upon sun-warmed stones, resting until the last light disappears beyond the peaks. But when the moon rises, the Moondrake awakens.

Its enormous eyes can catch even the faintest glimmer in the darkness, while the feather-like scales along its body shimmer beneath the night sky. The crescent marking upon its forehead is believed to connect the Moondrake to the moon itself. Quiet and curious rather than fierce, it often watches travelers from the rocky heights, keeping a silent watch over those passing through its mountain home.
