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.

Kuai has adopted a human, and he's so excited to have her around. He is mischievous and silly, in a good, fun-time-shenanigans kind of way. He runs around catching and foraging for food and feeds some of it to Kuai, so she'll never have to hunt again, and he does a lot of things for her that she likes, such as scratch her chin. Sometimes, though, this human makes angry noises when she nips his paws, and very occasionally, he tries to rub a wet cloth on her, which annoys her to no end. She must train him not to do those things. Kuai would also like the human to stop trying to make her sit by dangling a morsel of spider above her head. Although the treat is delicious, she must find a way to let him know it's much easier just to drop it in front of her.
