Greater Spotted Drake

Greater Spotted Drakes were released on May 21, 2015, alongside Magelight Pygmies and Hooktalon Dragons as part of Dragon Cave's 9th birthday celebration. As drakes, they can only breed with other drake breeds, and their eggs cannot be bitten by Vampire Dragons.
Breeding a Greater Spotted Drake with a Morphodrake may produce a Spotted Teal Drake.

And look! It has grown wings! It must be close to maturing.
=== Adult ===
Greater Spotted Drakes are found in open pine and oak forests. They are among the larger end of the spectrum, but are quite laid back and feed mostly on plant material. They are ambush predators and rely on their dappled markings for camouflage. Females are usually larger than males, though males are brighter in color. In the breeding season the male attracts a mate by making loud, low-pitched bugles, followed by an aerial courtship dance as proof of his quality as a father to her offspring.
