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.

Varee is the dog of the group, metaphorically speaking. In the time since his hatching, he has never made more than bird-like or similar sounding noises. He behaves far more like a pet than nearly any of the other dragons around the area. He growls a bit in fun as he involves himself in a tug-of-war with a rope and some local children, or eats from a large dog dish, or curls up near a fire while his master reads... the list goes on. In fact, he earned his name as that is the most common sound he makes ("Vree!", though Akrinon wishes he'd be more quiet). Whether this is an act or this is merely for attention and fun, no one knows. But regardless, Varee is a loyal and playful dragon, eager to see that each day is full of games and fun.
