Skilled kizidhar mages and gardeners handcraft these lovely creatures as much for their shuyookhs' aesthetic pleasure as for their protection. Creating a snapdrake requires first painstakingly constructing a frame of living wood in the shape of a drake before weaving thousands of colorful snapdragon flowers into intricate patterns to form its body and scales. Once complete, snapdrakes often serve kizidhars as a combination of guards, pets, and decorations for as long as they are well fed.

WORKS WELL WITH
AnvilLAND / AERIALA durable frontline creature anchors the scrum so lured targets stay engaged while the reach and Reactive Strike punish any attempt to disengage.
WeaverLAND / AERIALA caster benefits from fascinated and dazzled targets held close by the lure, making area spells easy to place without chasing anyone down.
PUNISHES
✖ ranged reliance✖ clumping✖ standing still
Avoid pairing with another fascination-based controller; the competing lure effects only fight over the same action economy.
