GENERAL INFORMATION

• Unit Name: Drael Skags
• Affiliation: The Bryn'adûl
• Classification: Cavalry
• Equipment: None
• Description: Large brutish beasts, a cross-breed between hounds and Draelvasier; standing at roughly 9 metres tall, and 15m long; the Drael Skag is a incredibly large mount typically used by Bryn'adûl Commanders, able to traverse the battleground quickly. It's scales are typically volcanic black, with a calcium right hide typically a deep crimson or brown covering the majority of their weaker skin.

COMBAT INFORMATION:

• Unit Size: Medium
• Unit Availability: Rare
• Unit Experience: Veteran
• Combat Function: The Drael Skag is the combination of an anti-vehicular unit, a bull that can charge enemies and knock down and demolish vehicles including what could be considered heavily armoured, tanks and even potentially walkers.

Strengths:

• ​Bulldozer: These beasts can run up to 150mph on average if uninterrupted for at a short period of time to ramp up. Potentially faster under force control or if a Drael Skag is specially bred by an owner instead of in masse.
• ​Tough: These creatures are loyal, and impressively built. They are strong, able to easily flatten infantry or light vehicles with its tail or within its jaws. The Skags also have a strong hide, able to withstand a great deal of punishment from small arms fire and vehicle mounted weaponry. Maintaining the same resistant hide the Draelvasier Baedurin typically have.

Weaknesses:

• Cold: Like they're biological relatives, the Skags are vulnerable to concentrated elements of cold. Elemental force attacks are especially dangerous, capable of freezing their limbs.
• ​Manoeuvrability: This creature, due to its massive weight and armoured exterior, is not particularly flexible or agile. It can easily be out-manoeuvred by smaller and faster creatures or vehicles.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION:
​​Biochemically engineered to substitute the use of walkers and tanks by majority with these large hounds. Typically ridden into battle and directed. These are large brutish creatures, able to ram and crush things. They are not elegant nor posses a fighters finesse.
