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, like many of his kind, is extremely shy and rarely leaves the cave. On the few occasions that he does venture outside, he enjoys the feeling of the sun on his wings and doing acrobatic tricks. However, the moment he realizes that anyone is watching, he'll dart back into the cave and hide again. One day, while looking for a new hiding place, he came upon a small crevice that looked promising, but upon following it, it led to a much larger cavern. He stopped and stared in wonder, this new cavern was beautiful, large enough to fly around in, and partially open to the sky, but closed off enough that bigger creatures couldn't get in. And the walls! They were covered in all kinds of crystals that caught the light. He'd found the perfect place, and immediately flew around in glee, relishing in the way the light sparkled off his wings.
