Characteristics

Red-furred furious raging beasts that rip and nip at foes with nasty fangs. They have solid, evil-looking white eyes and tufts of yellow hair all over their bodies. Their roar is so ferocious that it can strike fear into party members, causing them to waste precious time and turns in battle. These drackals also have a tendency to violently slam their bodies into their opponents at the cost of their own health.

In-game description

They might look frightening, but they're scaredy-cats really. If their bark doesn't scare people stiff, their bite surely will.

When two of them meet at night, both will howl so loud with surprise that they scare each other into a sociable stupour.
