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.

Central Determiner, or Cen-Det as she's often called, has an obsession with being in the middle. To the bemusement of all the dragons in her cave, if she ever finds herself in a line she will always make sure she's precisely in the middle of it, or if she's among a group of friends, she has to carefully order them to her liking. Unsurprisingly, she is not very good at queuing. Cen-Det has a strong dislike of anything with a beginning and end but no middle, believing such a situation to be unnatural, and will often attempt to insert something in between so that it can be complete. She considers the middle to be the essential part, and anything before or after it is optional. She has learnt a few words that she thinks sound pleasingly central and can often be heard muttering to herself, "his, the, those, a, that" and so on. Many of the dragons think she's barmy, but the Grammar Sect has welcomed Central Determiner with open arms.
