Power: 2 | Speed: 3 | Rarity: Common | World Region: The Thorn Groves
Origins: Thorn Drake is the tactically versatile card in Nature's Common tier – a 2/3 stat line with an area-effect technique that uses the Thorn Groves' natural vegetation as part of the attack. It doesn't fight in the thorns. It fights with the thorns, which is a distinction that makes the 2 Power contact consistently more damaging than the stat implies.
Finishing Move: Thorn Sweep: Uses its tail spine for a horizontal sweep through the Thorn Groves' density – the thorns along the arc amplify the attack, and the drake arrives on the other side of the sweep without having slowed down.
Synergy & Rivalry: The thorn-amplification option in Nature Commons. Earth's Fern Drake is its cross-affinity drake peer – two Drake cards from adjacent elements who both use their native vegetation as weapons and who share terrain notes while maintaining a friendly rivalry about which plant type makes the better weapon.
