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.

Cheerful and slightly obnoxious, Faeipawinn is keenly interested in what Wizard Carnie calls 'make-up.' After all, one can only shine their scales to so much extent. She can often be seen flittering about, trilling a happy little tune while the light bounces off her alternately powdered-and-buffed coat of scales, and leaving smears of cosmetics wherever she touches the walls. While this can be annoying, especially when she gets claw-polish on other dragons, the result is a little bit of extra beauty in the cave, and so they don't much grudge her for it (although Carnie has become upset more than once over the theft of her makeup).
