Title speaks for itself.

Here's what the letters are for:
A: These are different examples of the types of layouts the horns can be in, from 1-8. If you're not familiar with the species already, the number of horns on a Sand Drake can range from one to eight, and the drake's social rank depends on this. Two horns is the lowest, Eight the highest, and one is extremely rare. One-horned drakes are believed to be demigods, despite their usually frail form.

B: Demonstrates how the triple eyelid works. Each opening has a filter on it that allows only one spectrum through. When the eyelid is relaxed, the drake appears to have three eyes and can see the visible spectrum. The filters are as follows: Extreme amounts of light, Low visible light, infrared.

C: A sand drake's colors are usually complimentary. The base color is always subdued and/or earthy. No bright colors anywhere but the eyes and interior of the mouth.

D: An average drake is depicted here. They can be much leaner or somewhat more muscular, depending on heredity and environmental factors.

E: Front paw

F: Hind paw

[EDIT] Just realize the 5 horns one actually has three horns. Whoops. I'll draw in the other two when I update the ref. For now, Ezelix is a good reference for 5 horns.

FAQ: Questions? Ask them and I'll put them here:

Q: Are these an open species?
A: No. I'm keeping them on a friends-only basis, and even then, only with my express permission. Do NOT ask me if you can make one. I will say no. You can, however, make fan art of the existing ones, which can be found in #Toria-Art 's gallery.
