Khaganate Drake Raptor
Drake Raptors are swift, unfeathered reptilian predators bred by the Khaganate as scouts and cavalry mounts. Leaner and faster than Khagan War Drakes, they excel at reconnaissance, mounted archery, flanking maneuvers, and pursuing fleeing enemies. Fiercely loyal to trusted handlers, these beasts are prized clan assets and essential to the Khaganate’s doctrine of speed and encirclement.
Beast of the Steppe. The raptor has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight or smell.
Trained War Mount. A trained Drake Raptor can be ridden by a willing creature of appropriate size. While mounted, it understands its rider's trained commands and can move and take its actions as directed. In combat, it acts on the rider's initiative.
Predatory Acceleration. If the raptor moves at least 20 feet straight toward a target and then hits it with a Claw attack on the same turn, the target takes an extra 7 (2d6) slashing damage.
Sure-Footed Hunter. The raptor has advantage on Strength and Dexterity saving throws made against effects that would knock it prone.
Actions
Multiattack. The raptor makes two attacks: one with its Bite and one with its Claws.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d10 + 3) piercing damage.
Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) slashing damage.
Raking Pounce (Recharge 5–6). The raptor moves up to 20 feet toward a creature and makes one Claws attack. On a hit, the target must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or fall prone.
