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.

Mahial loves to be with other dragons. When she enters the Cave or returns from a task, she always makes a beeline for the largest group of dragons. Since Mahial is not very intelligent, the other dragons merely tolerate her presence and move away as soon possible without being overly rude to her. Poor Mahial hasn't really figured out that she is not really liked by the other dragons, although occasionally it seems like she might get the hint.
