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.

Dawn Feather is possibly the most friendliest and trusting out of all the dragons in his cave. If anyone new comes, he is the first to bound up to them, looking at them curiously. However, do not think this means that he is easy to catch; it is the opposite. As soon as Dawn Feather realizes that he has been 'betrayed', as he thinks it is, he will kick out, use his wings and fly away. Surprisingly, he has good memory so next time when that person comes, he will be more cautious around them.

He can only be seen in the day, for in the night, he hides himself in a corner of his cave.
