Drakes, the first and weakest type of dragon transformation, are created by the earliest-available or the simplest type of dragon transformation, and capable of attacking only a single enemy with its breath weapon. There are three analogous forms, the Flame Drake (FlmDr), Snow Drake (SnoDr), and Thunder Drake (ThrDr), each of which deals fire, ice, or lightning damage with its breath attack respectively – all of which are obtained after Ryu defeats the trial in the first Dragon Temple, just after the Stone Robot scenario.
