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.

Luewin is, like most Morphodrakes, rather solitary. Even though he was hatched in the tropical jungle, he has strayed far from that hatchery and into a region with a far greater human population. Here he survives on the waste food discarded by humans, often sticking close to places that are more generous with their leavings than others. Like an overgrown cat, Luewin has many different people convinced that he is starving and depending solely on their kindness to survive.

He has a scar on his left wing, the legacy of a fight with a Howler Drake. He was stalking a lone sheep in the hills when the other drake attacked him, raking him with claws and teeth and disorienting him with her screams. He fled from the hillside, ears ringing, looking back only once to see the Howler herding the sheep back towards a nearby flock. He's tried several times to find his way back to meet that sheep-drake again, but he honestly can't remember where he was at the time.
