Greater Spotted Drakes are found in open pine and oak forests. They are among the larger end of the spectrum, but are quite laid back and feed mostly on plant material. They are ambush predators and rely on their dappled markings for camouflage. Females are usually larger than males, though males are brighter in color. In the breeding season the male attracts a mate by making loud, low-pitched bugles, followed by an aerial courtship dance as proof of his quality as a father to her offspring.

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.

Grawkk is usually dismissed as being slow and unintelligent due to his way of sitting unmoving and staring blankly off into space for hours upon end. He unnerves his clanmates as he does no show signs of mental handicap; rather he seems to wear the pensive look of a famed philosopher who finds meaning in the most insignificant act of nature. But no one will truly know what thoughts swirl inside his head as he never speaks. Those who have tried to reach him mentally by extending their consciousnesses to brush against his have retreated in deeper confusion than they were in before. But his mysterious behavior does give him a certain allure to a few females in his clan, not that they could ever hope to entice him, but if he were to look up, Grawkk would find he would be better received in his own clan than he had thought possible.
