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.

Speiko is always on the go and rarely interested in anything or anyone enough to stop for a chat. His favorite foods are crickets and mice. Catch him in the right mood and with a proper bribe, and he might tell you of treasures he has seen while scuttling through fissures and vents in his favorite caves. If you don't show the proper appreciation, though, look out! He's lightning fast with that whip of a tail and will be gone before you even know what hit you.
