Morphodrakes are widespread in jungles, where the varied surroundings satisfy their seemingly endless curiosity. These drakes have a similarly varied diet, munching on anything from plants to carrion. They keep no territories and are solitary except for females raising young. Females are somewhat larger than males and are more aggressive, particularly when caring for young.

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.

Racing drakes. A popular enough sport in Archanea, especially for the rich and prestigious. Morphodrakes here had their origins in show breeding, with a preference for sleeker builds, thicker fur, more delicate faces and longer wings. Certain show-bred individuals proved fast, long-distance fliers with less of a tendency to be distracted by everything. Breeding these produced other traits, less desirable for show but definitely for something else.

Zenxourne is one such racer. With a tag embedded firmly into the flesh at the base of her horn, her name, date of hatching and other such details are recorded and carried with her. Her races consist of being taken from her owner to another location of varying distances and then retracing the steps in as fast and straightforward way as possible. They're races wrought with the risk of overzealous feral dragons as hurdles. Yet Zenxourne remains a high competitor, with no less than eighteen golden trophies won.
