No larger than hunting hawks, pearl-drakes are territorial hunters that glide through preserved forests on glass-wing membranes. They hoard pearls compulsively, and their nests are troves of the highest-grade amber — if you survive the venomous bite that turns flesh to slow crystal. The Syndicate breeds them in secret, their venom processed into slow-acting petrification poisons for assassins.
