Morphodrakes are widespread in jungles, where the varied surroundings satisfy their seemingly endless curiosity. These drakes have a similarly varied diet, munching on anything from plants to carrion. They keep no territories and are solitary except for females raising young. Females are somewhat larger than males and are more aggressive, particularly when caring for young.

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.

Despite being a drake, Butterfly is supremely intelligent, even more so than your common dragon. He is a deceptive and psychopathic creature, often feigning naivety and harmlessness to draw prey closer. Those who are aware of his true nature know him to be a notorious cannibal who will hunt smaller dragons and even larger drakes to satisfy his bloodlust. He holds a delicate balance between his intelligence and baser instincts, and sometimes has to struggle to keep them in-line. Though widely feared in his jungle home, he isn't totally incapable of social interaction. He actually gets along quite well with fellow predators, though he does maintain a degree of solitude common to his breed. He much prefers being on his own and will only team up with others if it is of absolute necessity. However, Butterfly doesn't really make friends. He views himself as superior to others and only really uses others to further his own gains. He's a manipulator, and a scarily impressive one.
