A pungent burnt scent is characteristic for the territory of a Flint Drake herd. Flint Drakes leave this scent by rubbing their scales against rough, hard surfaces. When a Flint Drake gets ambushed by a predator, its scales may ignite from the attack. While doing no damage to the Flint Drake, it often successfully protects it from becoming prey. Flint Drakes pick their mates by the brightness of the sparks produced when they knock each other’s antlers together.

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.
