Uniformly lightly built and scaled in a pale bluish-grey, its feathering a few shades darker, the helian drake appears slender and relatively harmless compared to other drake breeds. Scattered amongst its normal scales are keeled scales of a luminescent, milky hue; in dim light or darkness -- or when the creature wills it -- these scales, as well as the drake's eyes and claws, light with a bewitching green glow. Helian drakes take advantage of the fascination their lights can provoke whenever possible.
In combat a helian drake attacks with claws and bite as do other drakes, inflicting 1-4 and 1-6 hit points of damage respectively. Their venomous bite dulls the senses, penalizing initiative and Armour Class by -2 for 2-8 turns if a save is failed; this penalty is cumulative with the mesmerism of their light-scales, which cause a -2 penalty to all rolls if the victim fails a save vs. charm.
