    Breathe Unholy Fire (16): The drake breathes out a blast of unholy fire, dealing thrust 3d-1(2) burning damage (KYOS: 4d) as large-area injury. This is a cone attack that uses rules from Area and Spreading Attacks (pp. B413-414). The cone is 1-yard wide and has a length of 7 yards (ST/5). Each use costs 2 FP. It is possible to make the cone wider by using the rules from Cones of Power (GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Monsters 4: Dragons, p. 10). This attack can harm both substantial and insubstantial beings.
    Terror: An abyssal drake can activate this ability to cause all creatures within 10 yards of it to make a Fright Check. If a victim succeeds at his Fright Check, they will be unaffected by the abyssal drake’s Terror for one hour.

Abyssal Drake Venom
This poison is extracted from an abyssal drake. A living victim must make an immediate HT-2 roll or suffer 1d toxic damage. Every minute for 5 more cycles he must make another HT-2 roll to resist or take the same amount of damage. After losing 1/2 HP to this poison, the victim gains a -3 penalty to HT until he heals above this threshold.
Form: Follow-Up Poison.
Cost: $180 (singular); $65 (5-batched).
Recipe: $18; 1 day; defaults to Poisons-1.
