    Combat:  Salt drakes are very intelligent and are very good at observation and complex tasks.  Their bodies are very fluid and they can move quickly and can strike at surprising distance with their claws.  They prefer to avoid direct combat and prefer to ambush their prey.

     Habitat and Socity:  Salt drakes are created through a magical ritual generally practiced by Cults of Nilat the Corrupter.  The process requires a goose egg and close to 3 years of foul ceremonies.  Salt drakes are easily trained, but prefer to their independence.  They are the smartest of the drakes and do not give up on a task.

    Legend and Lore:  The bones of salt drakes are actually salt and there is a large diamond found on their skull.  The sage, Korwin of Nuln believes the diamond is the source of their phenomenal intellect. The diamond is known to be widely sought for several powerful divination spells.
