She is not an original {{roe}} hero, but was added in {{ab}} and is also available in {{sod}}.

By default, Mutare Drake is not playable, but she may be enabled in custom scenarios in the map editor.

Her specialty is similar to the {{An|Vial of Dragon Blood}}.

'''Bug:''' the starting amount of creatures is equal to the one of the common Castle hero <!-- a mistake in HOTRAITS.TXT:  -->''(fixed in {{hota}}{{-wh}})''.

== Story ==
See {{Hn|Mutare|0=}} for the her story prior to becoming a dragon.

In a last ditch attempt to defeat Mutare Drake before he rise to power, {{Hn|Ordwald|0=}} told the other [[Nighon]] Lords that if they drank Mutare Drake's blood, they too would turn into dragons. Even though several lords came against Mutare Drake, she overpowered and killed all of them, including her rival [[Ordwald]]. Following this triumph, Mutare Drake sparked a civil war in [[Nighon]], desiring even more power. Ultimately, she was successful and became the Dragon Queen of [[Nighon]].

Not satisfied with ruling only [[Nighon]], Mutare Drake invaded [[AvLee]]. To aid in her assault, she used the {{An|Vial of Dragon Blood}} to enslave the {{Cnu|Green Dragon|Gold Dragon|name=Green and Gold Dragons}}. Without these powerful creatures, the forces of [[AvLee]] were overwhelmed by the forces of the Dragon Queen. Looking to even the playing field, {{Hn|Tarnum (Ranger)|name=Tarnum|0=}} managed to steal the [[Vial of Dragon Blood]] and use it to free the [[Green and Gold Dragons]]. Though this was a blow to her plans, Mutare Drake still managed to enslave the {{Cn|Rust Dragon}}s and {{Cn|Crystal Dragon}}s. With these powerful new allies, she broadened her assault to include [[Erathia]]. The [[Knight|Knights]] were no match for the dragons and found themselves fighting for survival, much the same as the [[elves]] of [[AvLee]].

Seeking to derail Mutare Drake's plans, [[Tarnum]] fought his way to the {{Cn|Faerie Dragon}}s, successfully enlisting their aid before Mutare Drake could. Though this was another setback, Mutare Drake triumphed again, recruiting the formidable {{Cn|Azure Dragon}}s into her armies. Knowing that the forces of [[AvLee]] and [[Erathia]] could not hold out for long against Mutare Drake's forces, [[Tarnum]] employed a risky gambit, using his army to strike behind the [[Nighon]] lines. He succeeded in cutting the [[Nighon]] forces in half and drove them back through the tunnels towards [[Nighon]], while the [[Elf King]] mopped up the remaining forces trapped in [[AvLee]].

When she was defeated in AvLee, Mutare Drake pivoted the assault to [[Erathia]], driving her forces towards [[Bracada]]. As she won battle after battle, due to her own prowess, her victory seemed inevitable. In his hour of need, {{Hn|Gavin Magnus|0=}} sent the renowned Dragon Slayer {{Hn|Dracon|0=}} to fight her. In a climactic battle, both [[Dracon]] and Mutare Drake slew each other. Without Mutare Drake's leadership, the forces of [[Nighon]] were routed.

{{Hn|General Kendal|0=}}'s [[Lost_Manuscripts#07-17-1175|account of the battle]]:
<pre>"We watched from a hilltop, safely away from the battle itself. After a very short amount of time it became quite clear this was for the sole human wizard and the dragon to fight out, all others would get crushed in their way. I have never seen such power contained in one human being before, and I have seen many spell casters. Dracon wielded magic like you would your own hands or feet. His skill was beyond compare, and the amount of power driving through his body would destroy any normal person. My pathetic words cannot describe his abilities, and it is no wonder that simply being in his ranks can increase your magical skills. For hours the two went back and forth, testing the others' abilities, strengths and weaknesses. Then the real battle started. Mutare drove straight at him, apparently going to attempt to swallow him whole. Dracon stood his ground, raw power dancing between his hands as the two locked eyes. The last split second she moved to the right, but Dracon knew it was a feint and prepared for the real attack to the left, splitting open her side. The two fought with renewed viciousness for another hour, but they were beginning to tire. Mutare's movements were slower, and her reactions didn't pull up in time. Once, her wing slammed into the ground and she spun clumsily away. Dracon wasn't faring well either, he misjudged a feint and took a blow squarely on the side of his face. We began to believe he was going to lose, and both armies readied for the finish. Even if Dracon lost, we had to kill the weakened dragon and wipe out her forces. Lying on the ground, bleeding and crippled Dracon played a game I knew well. Maybe if Mutare wasn't so tired or her mind wasn't clouded with pain she wouldn't have fallen for the oldest trick. As she drove into the kill, Dracon came up with his final attack and sheer power shaped like the sharpest blade slid in between her breastplate, killing her instantly. The dragon screamed and crashed into the ground, and on Dracon. There was no time to seek out Dracon, we had to fight the rest of the Nighon army. It took three days, but we were victorious. The Nighon army was demolished, their leadership in shambles and were being forced back into their homeland.

Dracon died that day, proving he was the greatest Dragon Slayer of all time. We will always remember his name with reverence and pride. Because of his sacrifice we were able to drive the invaders from our lands."</pre>
