Greater Spotted Drakes are found in open pine and oak forests. They are among the larger end of the spectrum, but are quite laid back and feed mostly on plant material. They are ambush predators and rely on their dappled markings for camouflage. Females are usually larger than males, though males are brighter in color. In the breeding season the male attracts a mate by making loud, low-pitched bugles, followed by an aerial courtship dance as proof of his quality as a father to her offspring.

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.

gUTts is a brave drake—very gutsy. He isn't afraid of anything. He is fascinated by Makes. He thinks she is really cool and pretty. He also likes q1eEt a lot. He thinks the howler is smart, but loud. q1eEt taught gUTts how to spell his name, which is why it is not like how the big dragons spell 'guts'. gUTts is proud of his (limited) writing ability. His name is the only thing he knows how to write. He likes to write his name all over the place. Usually he writes in the mud, which isn't a problem. Sometimes he gets ink and writes on various dragons' stuff. This is not so good. He gets in trouble a lot because of it.
