Flamingo Wyverns are so named for their resemblance to the tropical birds with whom they often share territory. Their most striking feature is the bony black crest over their faces and snouts, smaller in females, aiding both in digging up food and protection from attack. Females are noticeably brighter than males due to their habit of not straying far from particularly algae-rich feeding grounds.

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.

Salt is one of the many dragons that hate the name Kanaye gave them. Her mate, Popcorn, loves his and he refuses to call her anything else. If Salt did not love her mate so much, she most likely would have left Kanaye's cave in search of a name worthy of her. While it's true that salt tastes good. On everything. She dislikes the idea of being called something so tiny and insignificant. Popcorn, however, believes that her name fits her perfectly, a delicious surprise, and that is the one, the only thing, keeping Salt from sneaking into Kanaye's personal cave and destroying all of her neatly kept dragon records.
