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.

Cyfica is the first drake to be born and raised in the clan for a long time, her older siblings having been abandoned by her Day Glory parents for being the wrong species. Finally blessed with the child they were after Cyfica's parents treated her like a princess and pandered to her every wish. As a result Cyfica was rather vain and spoiled as a hatchling, although a chance encounter with Mamon brought her down a peg or two.
