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.

In the days before pink dragons learned how to influence a gender, missiourichickenmama had no girl ochredrakes. She needed one very badly, so named her un-gendered ochredrake I better be a girl or ELSE. I better be a girl or ELSE heeded the warning, unlike her mate IbetterBeAgirlOrElse, she heeded the warning. I better be a girl or ELSE loves to play with the hatchlings. All dragons in missiourichickenmama's cave have to love them, but she loves hatchlings more than most.
