====Cemetery Drake====

Cemetery drakes are considered among many necromantic circles to be the pinnacle of the corpse raising art.

Starting with the bones of an ancient dragon killed by violence the necromancer stretches the flesh of no less then fifty occultists over the frame utilizing there sharpened bones as needles to stitch the sinew together and to pin the flesh into place.

Once this gruesome task is down the necromancer must then take the creation to a place of potent necromantic energies typically a large unblessed cemetery, a haunted house, an ancient battlefield or someplace else where the energies of death are particularly potent.

What follows is a ghastly ritual wherein the necromancer sacrifices a living child and anoints the corpse in its hearts blood creating a conduit between the energies of the place and the corpse that floods the body and animates it into a fearsome creature known as the cemetery drake. Cemetery drakes can sometimes be identified by the kind of terrain pulled into themselves by the animation process (such as tombstones, rusted weaponry, or old furniture). 

The resulting creature is as powerful as many old dragons having the strength of the bones behind it and the magical potency of the many spellcasters used in its construction. The unfortunate fact is that this despicable and horrific creature also has a dark will of its own and an unwary creator might easily find his flesh ripped from his bones and added to the creatures own if not properly controlled.
