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.

Whiptail Nameless came from out of nowhere. He was not an egg that the dragons had saved from death, nor was he a young hatchling who had stumbled upon the Clan. No, he was a full-grown nameless, something heard of only in clan myths up until then. Clan mythology said that without a name, a dragon would have a hard time ever making it to adulthood. But Whiptail Nameless was a graceful example of a full-grown dragon, strong and fast, and somehow he had taught himself how to hunt. He was accepted swiftly into the clan, and although he disagreed to losing his nameless status, he allowed the others to refer to him as 'Whiptail Nameless' so they wouldn't confuse him with any of the other whiptail dragons running about CloudClan.
