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.

Pastel Rainbow is a very graceful dragon, and all the other dragons in Shield Tail and Dark Drakon's herd agree that she is also the most beautiful dragon on their island home. However, while Pastel Rainbow does know she isn't ugly or simple, she never agrees with their approbation of her beauty. In fact, whenever she is praised for being so beautiful, she simply concludes her dragon friends are very kind. When it comes to her magical abilities, she specializes in dual magic, which she performs with her mate, Dusty Rainbow.
