Ochredrakes are a curious species with a wide array of mutations and interesting behaviors. Not as intelligent as normal dragons, they only breed with other drake species. While they may not be bright, ochredrakes are flamboyant and fun-loving with amazing, chirping voices to sing with, and tame readily in the presence of a gentle hand.

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.

Donovan is just as carefree, playful, and curious as his mate Oria. He can often be found exploring the darker corners of the caverns, looking for new, exciting things. His curiousity often gets him in trouble if he loses his way and gets too close to the eggs. He's not allowed near the hatching sands; he's not near careful enough for Aeronwen to let him in!
