What they lack in size and strength, Tatterdrakes make up for in aggression and ferocity. Any perceived threat is seen as a challenge and met with complete hostility; fights for territory are so commonplace that many older Tatterdrakes possess wings so ripped from fighting that they can no longer fly. Tatterdrakes are exclusively solitary except when they are seeking mates, for which they also clash.

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.

Distraese is just a very angry dragon. It's in her nature. She's a Tatterdrake after all. She has a soft spot, though. Frogs. She loves frogs. She doesn't know why, and even if she did, she'd never admit it. The croaks are therapeutic for her. She raises them in a little swamp away from the other dragons. She gets livid when anyone asks her were she's been, because that's none of their business of course. She has a large wound on her left hind leg, that gives her a limp when she walks. The wound was earned from a fight with another Tatterdrake who was crossing into her territory.
