Bright-Breasted Wyverns are a breed of dragon easily recognized by their bright red markings. They are a small breed, only the size of a full-grown man. However, they have developed poisonous barbs on their feet to make up for their size. Their coloration is used to warn off potential predators of the danger, and is also used to attract mates. They are very social, and can often be seen preening in large groups.

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.

Strangler of the Sockpuppets hates sock puppets. She's been known to attack sock puppets when they are being used to entertain children, steal socks from vendors' stalls to prevent them from going to the dark side, and was once found questioning a hand puppet on the whereabouts of a spotted sock puppet. Neither her owner nor the other dragons know why she does this, but they have banned her from children's parties because of it.
