As the nocturnal relative to Sunbeam Drakes, Moonglow Drakes are a secretive breed most active under the light of the moons and stars. They are wary of others, but are known to have incredible loyalty should their trust be won. Catching sight of Moonglow Drakes as they dance amid the moonlight is seen as a favorable omen by those they live near, and tamed individuals are common. They are slightly smaller than their cousins, averaging around the size of a cat.

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.

Balerion Night Glory is one of the few drakes rescued and nurtured by the wide ranging clan of humans founded by AnselaJonla. Her egg was found in the forest and taken to a hatchery to be raised.

Once she matured, she found her lifemate, a Howler drake, among the other AnselaJonla drakes. In the tradition of the AnselaJonla flock, both drakes were given the same name, Balerion, to pass down to any of their offspring that remained within the flock.

Balerion Night Glory thinks that the Day Glory drakes and Sunsong Amphipteres within the flock are silly things, and that spending so much time in the sunlight is a bad idea.
