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.

Daylight Scales would rather spend time with humans than dragons, and humans in turn are drawn to her for her beautiful singing. For a short time, she was in love with Pontiant, touched by his kindness towards Aguanein SilverSun, but Pontiant rejected her, saying he only took Aguanein in because his group needed more members. The only dragon that Daylight enjoys being around is Lilin, another Day Glory Drake.
