These creatures seem to be related distantly to both the dragons and
airdragons (pteranodons), although they are a distinct species. Although
as large as a small dragon, a dragonnel has no breath weapon. Dragonnels
attack by vicious strikes with their taloned forefeet, followed by a
snapping bite from their toothy beaks. These creatures have a dim
intelligence and have been known to have performed evil deeds at
times.

At one time, dragonnels inhabited the World of Greyhawk from the Kron
Hills and Glorioles to the Drachensgrab Mountains, but the species is
now virtually extinct everywhere save the Pomarj. In that AREA, the
monsters have been caught, tamed, and are now used as steeds by evil
humans dwelling amongst the humanoid hordes infesting the place.
Luckily, there are too few of these creatures to pose a serious threat to
the surrounding states, although rumor has it that several score of
dragonnel-mounted raiders have been sighted along the Wild Coast.

The grayish underbelly of a dragonnel fades into a dusty red-violet along
the sides and tail. Back spines are maroon, the beak gray, and the head
frills white.
