Swallowtail Dragons are graceful and quick flyers, much like their namesake bird. They are capable of precise aerial acrobatics, and can reach very high altitudes. Because of this, humans observing these dragons are often astonished at how large they are when confronted up close. A Swallowtail’s diet consists of insects and small mammals plentiful in temperate forests. These dragons are also made remarkable by their paper-thin wing membranes, which allow light to pass through, creating an astonishing effect on starry nights.

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.

Deathcore Metalspeed, or just Metal, is infamous around the clan for his annoying antics and carelessness. Metal is very much known for stealing kills, annoying the other dragons, and being a nuisance in general. He has a very show-offish nature, although he is mostly a coward. Metal is the most agile of the clan, and loves to swoop in the air and do complicated tricks and acrobatics. He has slightly thicker wings than most Swallowtails. He never backs down from a challenge, and that usually backfires and leaves him helpless and in need of another dragon.
