Feisty and energetic, Whiptail Dragons pride themselves on their speed and agility. It is not unusual to see several whiptails racing each other. Though fragile, they can easily evade attacks with their superior speed, and often use their long tails as a weapon, giving rise to their name.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Mud Flurry loved to zip about, running in whichever direction he chose, with his tail whipping behind him. The dirt and dust his tail whipped up as he ran quickly annoyed the other dragons, as all the dirt got splattered onto them. They would make him flap his wings at them, blowing off the dirt and dust. One day, Mud Flurry saw a Balloon female flying about in crazy direction, just like he liked to do, but with a big wind following her. He learned what the wind was, and thought it was so funny that this unladylike female could race with him, blowing the wind off nearby dragons. He laughed so often, that he finally just made her his mate.
