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.

Ever since he was paired with "Emo sunshine" That's very Awkward has had no end to his frustration with her.

See, naturally Day Glories are supposed to be friendly and happy. Emo Sunshine on the other hand, is shy, and tends to spend the day weeping in a corner, usually while screaming about how much she hates the daylight and sunshine.

Awkward feels he has to make up for her lack of social graces. For this very reason, he spends about twice as much time as the other Day Glories socializing with humans.

Any spare time he has left over from this is spent trying to explain why his mate acts like she does; he never succeeds.
