The Blue Draik before the Neopets 2.0 redraw.

The Draik is a dragon-like Neopet, released on June 25, 2002.

Overview

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 Draik Soldier.

Draiks were released as Limited Edition Neopets along with Ixis, 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 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.
