The Dreadful drackal is a monster in the series.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

Dreadful drackals are magic beasts with dark red fur and razor-sharp fangs. They have solid, evil-looking white eyes and tufts of yellow-green hair all over their bodies. These drackals attack by biting with their sharp fangs or violently slamming their bodies into their opponents at the cost of their own health, along with roaring loudly to try intimidating their opponents.

Description		They might look frightening, but they're scaredy-cats really. If their bark doesn't scare people stiff, their bite surely will. When two of them meet at night, both will howl so loud with surprise that they scare each other into a sociable stupour.

Quest #74: Mr. Whippy's Wish requires the player to defeat a Dreadful drackal, along with a Drastic drackal, with a simple attack from a Leather whip.
