Characteristics
Mandrake manglers are bipedal anthropomorphic dragon soldiers that are armed and ready for battle. Their scales are a pale shade of red. They have large pairs of wings on their backs with grey membranes, a long pair of horns, and scales running down the top of their heads to their tails, all in grey, as well. Their swords and shields are brass-colored, while their armor is colored ivory. In battle, they have a tendency to call for more of their kind as backup.
