Nhiostrife Wyverns are one of the few known breeds of wyvern with more than one set of wings. Because of their four wings, Nhiostrifes are very nimble in the air and control their movements with ease. When it’s mating season, males put on a very beautiful and unique air dance in an attempt to charm a female. The amount of stripes on their wings vary, with more stripes being more attractive, although most have only two to four. Their general attitude is very passive and curious—they only fight if they or their families are in danger.

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.

This dragon is a favourite with many dragon scientists. Her curiosity and trusting nature allow them to get close to her and study her for months on end without scaring her away or making her feel harassed. Unfortunately, very little is known about her natural behaviour in the wild, because she is always surrounded by people. But her feeding habits, sleep cycle, blood pressure, the exact extent of her myopia—all this and more has been painstakingly noted. There were even attempts to make her wear special spectacles, but she was so fascinated by the shiny glass 'toys' that she kept dropping and breaking them.
