As the nocturnal relative to Sunbeam Drakes, Moonglow Drakes are a secretive breed most active under the light of the moons and stars. They are wary of others, but are known to have incredible loyalty should their trust be won. Catching sight of Moonglow Drakes as they dance amid the moonlight is seen as a favorable omen by those they live near, and tamed individuals are common. They are slightly smaller than their cousins, averaging around the size of a cat.

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.

The butt of many jokes in the cave, Nasty Prisms can be described as simply "Doesn't make any sense." The other dragons who have nothing better to do will constantly ramble on to this oblivious dragon about anything that comes to mind- the weather, politics, music. All Nasty Prisms can respond in is sentence fragments which do not contain any relevance to the current topic. Sadly, this brings amusement to the other dragons. His master could not make sense of some of the responses he would give her, so she decided to name him after one of his silly sentence fragments. That fragment happened to be "Nasty Prisms, good sir." Maybe one day some soul will unravel the mystery behind this poor dragon's jumbled mind.
