Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It likes to be left alone. And look! It has grown wings! It must be close to maturing.

噢……是個可愛的龍寶寶呢。牠喜歡獨處。而且你看！牠長出翅膀了！牠肯定快要長大成龍了。

The quiet and solitary Tarantula Hawk Drake lives in deserts, digging temporary shallow nests overnight in which to sleep. They feed primarily on large spiders, but will also eat carrion, other insects, and larger prey when necessary. Tarantula Hawk Drakes are typically quite docile, preferring to mind their own business. However, when threatened or provoked, these drakes will attempt to stab the opponent with the stinger on their tail to inject a powerful venom. This sting is at the very least extremely painful, and even if the toxins don’t paralyze the attacker, the pain is likely to distract them enough for the drake to escape.

安靜孤立的沙漠蛛蜂德雷克生活在沙漠，透過挖掘臨時用淺穴來過夜睡覺。牠們主食是隻豬，但也會吃腐肉、其他昆蟲，在必要時也會獵捕大型獵物。沙漠蛛蜂德雷克生性溫馴，不好管閒事。然而當牠們被威脅或挑釁十，這些德雷克會試圖以尾刺戳擊敵人來注入劇毒。這刺光被螫到就十分痛苦，縱使毒液沒有成功麻痺攻擊者，那個痛楚也足夠使之分心到能讓德雷克有足夠的時間逃離。
