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.

The other dragons always made Armi feel he was only a drake, and not one of them. He became quite resentful about it, trying to gather around him the other non-dragons of the troupe. He knows he's not as fast, not as intelligent, and not as strong as the bigger dragons, but that doesn't prevent him from trying his best. And maybe if he tries hard enough, he will finally be able to prove to everyone what he's really worth.
