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.

Swift Turret loves to sing, which most likely stems from his species. His sweet song may grasp the heart of those that hear it, but the truth is that he is a rather primitive-minded dragon and does not hold a lot of knowledge. His only distinguishing attribute is that he is a mite taller than his brothers of the Ochredrake family tree, which gave rise to half of his name. He isn't a bad flier, and that is another favorite activity, hence the other half of his name.

Swift Turret does have a sense of right and wrong, and although it's much like a young child's, he does try and be good overall.
