Morphodrakes are widespread in jungles, where the varied surroundings satisfy their seemingly endless curiosity. These drakes have a similarly varied diet, munching on anything from plants to carrion. They keep no territories and are solitary except for females raising young. Females are somewhat larger than males and are more aggressive, particularly when caring for young.

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.

Following the Madder Jungle tradition of using morphodrakes as a vital part of government, J1m is the official tiebreaker for the administrative committee. Her name came from Eapoxy, who accidentally glued a human's name tag to the poor drake, and her title, 2-2, comes from her job. Her job is simple: the committee puts a piece of candy in a box for each of the decisions J1m has to decide between and labels each box with one of the choices. The box she eats the candy from first wins. When the candy involved is liquorice spiders, this can be wonderfully entertaining as she goes back and forth fleeing from the shape and being drawn to the scent of the treats. There was one time she was asked to vote on the Great Un-Stolen Banana Split, when the boxes were baited with gummy worms. She ended up knocking both boxes over and eating both gummy worms in the same bite. The meaning of this is debated by philosophers, especially students in Seven Questions University's Unanswerable department.
