Sunbeam Drakes are the diurnal counterparts to Moonglow Drakes, their eggs having been laid during the daylight hours. They are around the size of a small dog, and while docile, can be flighty and easily startled. Most can be found high in treetops enjoying the bright sunlight, tucking themselves away at the first sign of a storm or impending nightfall. Sunbeam Drakes enjoy flying in the light of the sun, and their treetop dances are beautiful, dazzling, and serene.

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.

This dragon has been alive since the days of an elder queen. Her mistress was a young lady of great social standing whose father had gotten her this sweet little Day Glory from the steamy jungles far away. Her young mistress was very kind to the young dragon who was frightened by her new surroundings and in time they grew to be extremely close. As an uncharacteristically small dragon, she used to hold onto her mistress's dresses disguised as a brooch because she hated to be left alone all day when the young lady went out.
