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.

Zwalla is much like another Ocredrake the same age as her, Whadogo. The two are practically twins; they act the same, goofy and constantly telling jokes, are friends with the same dragons, and some even can't tell the difference between the two physically or even by their voices. These two young female drakes are no doubt best friends and inseparable. Neither seems to have much sense in them, yet everyone seems to enjoy their presence.
