Sunbeam Drakes are the diurnal counterparts to Moonglow Drakes, their eggs having been laid during the daylight hours. They are around the size of a small dog, and while docile, can be flighty and easily startled. Most can be found high in treetops enjoying the bright sunlight, tucking themselves away at the first sign of a storm or impending nightfall. Sunbeam Drakes enjoy flying in the light of the sun, and their treetop dances are beautiful, dazzling, and serene.

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.

Day Lily is a pleasant, little drake. He doesn't really associate with his more complicated family and instead tends to stick to his own. He's out all day, strutting about the dragon sanctuary where he lives. Generally, he can be found in the designated jungle sector, resting in the tall, transplanted trees under the huge skylight. But he also enjoys spending time by the beach and washing up in the tide pools. Day Lily cares a lot for his appearance. He likes keeping his lustrous, golden scales as shiny and clean as possible. Though he is generally very docile, nothing gets him fired up faster than having mud or dirt splashed on him. You've never seen a drake get so mad! Of course, with a lack of viable defenses, his attacks come across as more cute than anything. He will very bitterly storm off, however, once he realizes this, and seeing him upset is almost worse than any physical attack or magic spell.
