The Drake (ザ・ドレイク Za Doreiku) was a bigfoot-themed Beast Warrior creation at the service of the Reconstructive Experiment Empire Mess.
History[]
A grotesque bigfoot-like Beast Warrior with eyes beneath its mouth. Its main ability was the creation of strings from its fingers which allowed for him to control anyone wrapped around them like a puppet, with the Beast Warrior as the puppeteer. Lead by Sir Kauler, The Drake first captures Jin but it was stopped by Leh Baraki who was supposed to be on Mess's side again after being recaptured. As punishment, Baraki was placed under The Drake's control and forced to rampage against his will with him merely holding out only to live long enough to give the Flashman a final warning about the affliction that affects warriors of planet Flash. While being forced to fight Jin, he becomes freed by Jin using his own sword to cut the cords, but The Drake kills Baraki before he can fully give off the warning about the weakness of Flash warriors. Angered, Jin attacked the Drake and the team destroyed the beast first with Rolling Vulcan, then with Great Titan after it has been rebuilt and grown giant by Kuragen.

Drake was a ruthless, sadistic, barbaric, savage and wrathful creature, that would attack anyone on his path without any mercy.

However, while being overall ruthless, savage and unrelenting creature, but he still was completely and unambiguously loyal to Kauler and the Mess, loyally following his masters's orders and never contradicting and arguing with them.
