Greater Spotted Drakes are found in open pine and oak forests. They are among the larger end of the spectrum, but are quite laid back and feed mostly on plant material. They are ambush predators and rely on their dappled markings for camouflage. Females are usually larger than males, though males are brighter in color. In the breeding season the male attracts a mate by making loud, low-pitched bugles, followed by an aerial courtship dance as proof of his quality as a father to her offspring.

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.

Sporran never had the fondest view of humans, viewing them as loud and destructive. Having to carry this child around whenever his flock moved didn't help matters. From what he understands, his group is even named after the kid. When the boy got a bit older and could walk on his own, he decided that Sporran would have his own special name. Leviathan named him Spots and he felt honored for reasons he couldn't explain.
