Fungal Drake

Though they may resemble dragons made miniature, fungal drakes lack a breath weapon, cannot speak, and are seldom larger than the average housecat. They sport a variety of brightlycolored fungal growths protruding from their bodies that can resemble mushrooms, lichens, and other fungi found both above and below ground. A tamed fungal drake is often a part of many a noble’s menagerie for their talent of discerning which mushrooms are safe to eat. When startled, they emit a small cloud of mildly irritating spores before they try to flee. Adventurers who are within a 10-foot radius of a frightened fungal drake must succeed a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or be incapacitated by a coughing fit for 1 minute.

While rare, fungal drakes can be found in specialized markets for 200 gold.
