Vremya Drakes are known for their impeccable abilities to alter time as an instinctual response to external stimuli. Whenever they feel threatened or startled, Vremya Drakes are capable of locking their target into a temporary time loop, allowing the drakes to escape unscathed. This attachment to time magic also supplies them insight to potential outcomes a few moments ahead to give them an advantage in dangerous situations. Many instances of deja vu have been attributed to Vremya Drakes and their time loops. Once heralded as the most intelligent drake breed, they are actually not much smarter than the average drake, but their unique method of distracting enemies has falsely given them a reputation of cunning and acumen.

Though it may appear at first that dragons and drakes have much in common, the two are completely separate species. Drakes are smaller and less intelligent than their cousin species, though both dragons and drakes sit comfortably near the top of the food chain. They are always found bearing antlers and leathery wings. Drakes share many of the same habitats that dragons do, and typically hunt in packs.

ODISP doesn't know what's going on

When something scary comes:

He stares and hums

Wishing simply that the threat be gone,

Then rides the waves of time his terrors spawn.

.

Although he's caught himself within a loop,

And time rewinds

ODISP always finds

A way to get his muzzle in some soup

Or sneak into the children nugget coop.

.

The antics of the flighty drake inspire

Lyrical refrains

As his magic wanes;

Though heed this if you're tuning up your lyre:

Disturbing him will frequently backfire.
