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.

Utsukushiku harewatatta hi loves the day time. He is always the first dragon awake. He walks outside of the cave to greet the sun with a warm smile. He eats quickly so he can go out and enjoy the warmth of the beautiful sun. When he was hatched, he was hatched in the only patch of sunlight in the whole cave and that was when his love for the sun was born.

His name means glorious day.
