The Draik is a 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.

Draiks are curious Neopets that like to hunt, and like Scorchios they can 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 three feet tall. They can support themselves on their tails, like Blumaroos.

Where Draiks were first released, a limited number of them were available through the Create-a-Pet system. No more have been released in that way, however. Draiks are instead obtained from hatching a Draik Egg. A Draik Egg is a food item available from the Merifoods, but if taken to the Draik Nest in Meridell, they can be allowed to hatch. They 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.

In the Neopets Trading Card Game, they are associated with the element of Fire.

In the Battledome, Draiks receive 10% less damage from Earth and Fire attacks. They can learn six species abilities:

-==Overview==
+The '''Draik''' 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]].
-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]] 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 their difficulty to obtain, Draiks are considered a status symbol, similar to a [[Krawk]].
+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 can support themselves on their tails, like [[Blumaroo]]s.

Draiks are instead obtained from hatching a Draik Egg. A Draik Egg is a [[food]] [[item]] available from the [[Merifoods]], but if taken to the [[Draik Nest]] in Meridell, they can be allowed to hatch.
