Honey Drakes are small, energetic creatures that feed almost exclusively on flower nectar, honey, and insects. The myriad scales covering their bodies protect them from the stings of angry bees as they feed from hives, though these dexterous and wily drakes rarely need the protection. Though notably silent most of the time, Honey Drakes are capable of producing a purr-like thrum that seems to calm bees down, and their ravenous appetite for nectar results in a free meal for the hive, harvested from the drakes’ own scales.

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.

Hachinosu is particularly sensitive to the taste and texture of honey, insisting that she can tell different honeys apart and even recall the specific beehive they came from. Her guesses aren't correct as often as she would like them to be, but she enjoys all the extra honey that her friends and family members bring her when they try to test her supposed skills. It does irk her a bit when the honeys are mixed or flavored with fruits to confuse her, but she doesn't complain because she enjoys the novelty of the unusual flavors.
