Ochredrakes are a curious species with a wide array of mutations and interesting behaviors. Not as intelligent as normal dragons, they only breed with other drake species. While they may not be bright, ochredrakes are flamboyant and fun-loving with amazing, chirping voices to sing with, and tame readily in the presence of a gentle hand.

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.

Brittlethrash is completely obsessed with the sun. Every morning, before dawn, he flies to a high cliff, and stands motionless until the sun crawls over the horizon. At first sight of the sun, Brittlethrash begins to sing in honor of the sun's glory, the same melody each time. After singing his song, Brittlethrash goes about to his day, only returning to the cliff that night to bid the sun farewell with a mournful lullaby. Brittlethrash hates winter and being inside. He wishes he could remain in the sun forevermore.
