Carmine Wyverns are active predators found most commonly in tropical regions. They have a poor sense of smell and are primarily dependent on sight and sound to hunt. These dragons are lightweight and quick, and tend to flee from rivals rather than attempt to fight. When a confrontation does occur it usually involves large amounts of posturing and displaying to make the wyverns appear larger and stronger than their opponents, and one will often surrender and leave without a fight ever actually occurring. They are dedicated parents and usually mate for life, though the degree of loyalty to a partner varies between individuals and within individual pairings.

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.

19 Hours, despite being a Carmine Wyvern Elder, is the slowest flier in all of EG's Cave. He received his nickname when he took nineteen hours to fly from Autumn Forest to the peak of Mount Hagsip, a normally thirty minute journey. Unfortunately, he had an extremely important appointment that day, and no one ever let him live his tardiness down.

19 Hours blames his slow flying on the fact that his mother abandoned him when he was very young and never taught him the correct way to fly. He currently flies in a completely inefficient way. In the end, he was able to overcome this obstacle and become a cave elder.
