A White Guard Drake in Dungeons & Dragons is a draconic creature bred for war, loyalty, and deadly efficiency. These beasts are not natural-born dragons but rather artificially created drakes, typically by dragon cults or powerful wizards who wish to harness the might of dragons without dealing with their egos or independence. Specifically, the White Guard Drake is a variant infused with the essence of white dragons, the most primal and feral of the chromatic dragons. As such, it inherits many of their traits—especially their cold resistance, vicious temperament, and affinity for snowy and icy environments.

Physically, a White Guard Drake is a hulking quadruped with thick, scaly white hide, jagged spines along its back, and powerful jaws capable of rending armor. Unlike true dragons, it has no wings and cannot fly, but its muscular build and speed make it deadly in close quarters. Its icy breath weapon is absent, but its body radiates a natural resilience to cold. In combat, it serves as a frontline brute, charging into enemy ranks to tear foes apart while shrugging off cold-based magic or attacks.

These drakes are not mindless beasts, though their intelligence is limited. They obey their masters with near-perfect loyalty, especially those who use magical means to bond with or control them. They are often employed as guardians, siege beasts, or elite enforcers by those who serve white dragons or seek to emulate them. In the lore of Tyranny of Dragons, the Cult of the Dragon specifically uses these creatures as part of their strike forces, releasing them from cages or magical restraints to wreak havoc during assaults.

Though not as cunning or fearsome as their true dragon kin, White Guard Drakes are brutal, reliable, and terrifying opponents—ice-hearted tools of destruction shaped by dark ambition and ancient dragon magic.
