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.

When Khendon is seen it is in the trees above, springing effortlessly from one branch to another. His bright coloring helps him to blend in with the colorful foliage of the surrounding forest, and when he wishes he can be almost impossible to spot—and he uses his advantage well. Regularly scouting the forest for his mistress and cave-mates, he knows how best to go unseen in the upper reaches of the forest, and has trained his life-mate Fallesca well in this art. Extremely social and quick-witted, Khendon is no warrior, yet it is known that his mind is as sharp as the fiercest claws, fast enough to rebuke the strongest of blows.
