Drakes in the Valewood possible spoiler?

So this is kind of my second play through.  My first was with a Cipher that i didn't really build properly for what i needed it to do so i started over on hard mode this time because i now knew what i was doing.    So i decided to make an unarmed monk,  absolutely love this class. I just picked up my warden building for bounties and just like last time in normal mode i head over to the Kobold bounty area to pick up some quick exp.   Oh how wrong i was.  accompanying the kobold leader and his priests is a Drake and 2 young drakes.  I have combed through many wiki sites and other forums and have had no word or sight of Drakes ever appearing in this zone ever....did the game just say F**K you?

The bounty that you picked up spawned the drakes, who have always accompanied the kobold king. 

 

Maybe the drakes don't appear in Normal mode? 

 

Bounties are meant to be difficult - though that fight, even with drakes, is beatable at mid-levels.

They must not spawn on normal mode then.  i will just have to gain another level or so i suppose.  I was going to get it done at level 4 but my parties defenses are just too weak right now to handle all of that at the moment.  Good to know this is common for hard mode.  I blew through the first tier of bounties with my Ciphers party.

Yeah, the drakes are adds for Hard difficulty. Xaurips only in Normal.
