Flamingo Wyverns are so named for their resemblance to the tropical birds with whom they often share territory. Their most striking feature is the bony black crest over their faces and snouts, smaller in females, aiding both in digging up food and protection from attack. Females are noticeably brighter than males due to their habit of not straying far from particularly algae-rich feeding grounds.

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.

Dusty is a Flamingo Wyvern and is known to be snappy. She and her son Mudim do not get along well but in a strange way are very close. They can be seen viciously fighting each other from morning to night but no matter who wins they will curl next to each other and fall asleep from exhaustion. Even though Dushy is snappy she usually will not attack unless provoked. She likes to sit near a private river or pond, under the shade, and sleep most of the time so when she gets hungry she can easily walk over to the water and catch fish. During winter she will sleep through the whole thing and won't wake up until the flowers start to bloom.
