These squat, mud-brown drakes resemble scaly pit bulls with blunt, toothy snouts. The desert drake is the prairie drake's closest known relative, as both share a strong affinity for earth, can burrow through soil, and hack up balls of dirt that they aim at enemies. But whereas a desert drake is sleek and nimble, flying through lightning storms and siroccos with ease, the prairie drake has all the grace of a chicken, barely able to flutter clumsily up a low hill or over a boulder.

Abilities
Tremorsense (Imprecise) 30 feet — Tremorsense allows a monster to feel the vibrations through a solid surface caused by movement. It is an imprecise sense with a limited range (listed in the ability). Tremorsense functions only if the monster is on the same surface as the subject, and only if the subject is moving along (or burrowing through) the surface.
Dirt Breath (arcane, earth) — The prairie drake spits a ball of dirt that explodes into a shower of rocks and mud. The attack has a range of 30 feet and explodes in a 5-foot burst. Creatures within the burst take 3d6 bludgeoning damage (DC 16 Reflex). Plant creatures in the area take no damage on a successful save; regardless, once per day, plant creatures can spend 10 minutes in the area to absorb the nutrients and heal 1d8 healing Hit Points. The prairie drake can't use Dirt Breath again for 1d6 rounds.
Draconic Frenzy — The prairie drake makes one jaws Strike and two wing Strikes in any order.
Speed Surge — Frequency three times per day
Effect The prairie drake Strides or Burrows twice.
