The quiet and solitary Tarantula Hawk Drake lives in deserts, digging temporary shallow nests overnight in which to sleep. They feed primarily on large spiders, but will also eat carrion, insects, and larger prey when necessary. Tarantula Hawk Drakes are typically quite docile, preferring to mind their own business. However, when threatened or provoked, these drakes will attempt to stab the opponent with the stinger on their tail to inject a powerful venom. This sting is at the very least extremely painful, and even if the toxins don’t paralyze the attacker, the pain is likely to distract them enough for the drake to escape.

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.

Crepitul is a friendly and quiet drake, often found isolating himself in the vast desert plains.

A human association feeds him and takes care of him in return for his venom. The humans use his venom in battle with other villages or civilisations.

Crepitul visits this village only to receive his daily feed, spending the rest of his day chasing pygmies or running after other animals for entertainment. When chasing other dragons or drakes he is often educated on the consequences the hard way. His scales are chipped and broken from the amount of fights that have broke out as a result of his games. Maybe one day he'll finally learn...
