| '''Drakes''' are similar to [[dragons]] but smaller and less powerful. Their mind is also more similar to that of an animal than that of true dragons, and they are more often aligned with [[blue]] than any other color, altough drakes of all other colors do exist. It is oft thought that drakes where descendants of the losers of the [[Elder Dragon Wars]], like the [[wurms]], but this is not true, for their ancestry can also be traced to the surviving [[Elder Dragons]].

| Officially<ref>That is, according to medieval bestiaries.</ref> the difference between drakes and dragons is that dragons have wings in addition to their limbs, while drakes have one set of their limbs replaced by their wings, like birds or bats. Although that reasoning is true for most of Magic’s drakes and dragons there are a few exceptions such as the [[sixth edition]] <c>Wind Drake</c> and <c>Dromar, the Banisher</c>. No explanation for this has been given.

| Drakes have been seen on [[Dominaria]] (especially on [[Tolaria]], the [[Burning Isles]] and [[Jamuraa]]), [[Rath]], [[Mirrodin]] and [[Ravnica]]. | |
