Draiks appeared in [[Neopia]] without any warning, seeming to come from another world (later found out to be [[Meridell]]). Featured primarily as knights and castle guards in Meridell Castle, Draiks are curious Neopets that love to hunt, but never know what to do with their prey once they catch it. They also love going on adventures which can take them far away from home. It's also assumed the average Draik to be 3 feet tall as shown by the [[Neopets TCG]] card [http://www.neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=2&id=5 Draik Soldier].

Draiks were released as [[Limited Edition]] Neopets along with [[Ixi]]s, but while Ixis are now available normally, no more Draiks have been released. Instead, they are available by visiting the [[Draik Nest]] with a '''Draik Egg''', allowing it to hatch (similar to the way a [[Krawk (Neopet)|Krawk]] is received). Besides hatching a Draik from a Draik Egg, a user can also buy a [[Morphing Potion]] to change their Neopet, or take them to the [[Lab Ray]]. All methods, however, are expensive, as the Lab Ray is in high demand and Draik Eggs and Morphing Potions are in limited number. The fact users receive an [[Avatar]] for owning a Draik and visiting the [http://www.neopets.com/medieval/draiknest.phtml Draik Nest] makes it all the more expensive. Because of the difficulty it takes to own a Draik, they are considered a symbol of ones status in Neopets.
==Trivia==
*As of December 2006, a little over 10,000 Draiks have been created (limited number of 7000), placing them 53rd in popularity out of 54 Neopets. They are also featured in 98 different [[items]], and come in 36 different [[Rainbow Pool|colours]].
