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.

Tktaka is the postdragon for Nworset City, the fastest flyer in town, and a terminal coffee addict. If she is deprived of caffeine—whether from coffee, tea, or a magically purified version of the stimulant—she will enter a zombie-like state, soon becoming completely catatonic. The only way to bring her back is with coffee. Many whites insist that the amount of coffee she consumes should have made her organs fail long ago, but to no avail. She has been friends with Deukari since longer than anyone can remember, and also enjoys spending time with Kit-tea and Dualitea.

In the old days, when few magis were willing to teleport things, Tktaka was often entrusted with carrying important messages incredible distances. She would fly nonstop with only a massive vat of coffee to keep her going day and night. Young dragons often disbelieve Tktaka when she tells of how she would fly as far as the South Sisters Islands in under a week. It makes her feel as bitter as the coffee she drinks.
