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.

Swipe Tail is a joyous fellow. He loves adventure and hates being inside a den or cave all day. His favorite thing to do is hunt prey, loving it when he can easily outrun anything he's after. In fact, his swiftness and camouflage make him one of the main hunters of the clan! He can be very juvenile at times, but takes great responsibility in his job as a hunter and maybe even a father. Although the attitude of a hatchling will never leave Swipe Tail, he will put his own happiness slightly aside, to make sure the rest of his clan are happy first.
