Draiks were originally released as [[Limited Edition]] along with [[Ixi]]s when [[Meridell]] was discovered. Shortly after, Ixis became available normally. However, no more Draiks were released, and instead they became available through special use of an item, the '''Draik Egg''' (similar to the [[Krawk]]).

Draiks were featured heavily in the two Meridell [[plot]]s, since the guards at Meridell Castle are composed almost entirely of them. They are very popular among users and are highly desireable, however, this combined with the rarity of the Draik Eggs has caused them to become quite expensive. Some users opt for buying the slightly-cheaper [[Morphing Potions]] in order to get them, while others take pride in their egg-created or "natural born" Draiks.
The '''Draik''' (a [[wikipedia:homophone|homophone]] of ''[[wiktionary:drake|drake]]'', an archaic word for a [[Wikipedia:dragon|dragon]]) is a [[Wikipedia:Dragon|dragon]]-like [[Neopet]], released on June 25, 2002. They appeared in [[Neopia]] as if they had come from another world - later discovered to be [[Meridell]].  


They come in a wide variety of colors including many redraws, such as the zombie-like [[Mutant]] and the elegant [[Maraquan]]. These redraws are generally considered much better than the normal pet, which some dislike because of its large head and awkward positioning. Still, most users would be greatful for a Draik of any type, since they are so pricy that they are considered a status symbol.
Draiks are curious Neopets that [http://www.neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=2&id=27 like to hunt], and like [[Scorchio]]s they can [http://www.neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=9&id=7 breath fire] and fly. They are popularly featured as guards, being seen guarding [[Meridell Castle]] during the [[Champions of Meridell]] [[plot]] and [[Altador]] and [[Brightvale]] during [[The Faeries' Ruin]] plot; despite only being around [http://www.neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=2&id=5 three feet tall]. They can support themselves on their tails, like [[Blumaroo]]s.

Where Draiks were first released, a [[Limited Edition|limited number]] of them were available through the Create-a-Pet system. No more have been released in that way (at least, not [http://www.neopets.com/ntimes/index.phtml?section=editorial&week=409 intentionally]). Draiks are instead obtained from hatching a Draik Egg. A Draik Egg is a rare, lucrative [[food]] [[item]] available from the [[Merifoods]], but if taken to the [[Draik Nest]] in Meridell, it can be allowed to hatch. It will hatch into a Draik of whatever colour the egg is - either [[Blue]], [[Red]], [[Yellow]], [[Green]], [[Darigan]], [[Ice]], [[Lost Desert]], [[Pirate]], [[Zombie]], or [[Island]]. Owning a Draik and visiting the nest will also give the user an [[avatar]].
