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.

Every night Screeching Fowl flies to the Land of the Flamingos to sleep with them. During the day she hunts and sleeps, preparing for the long journey she makes once the sun goes down. Screeching Fowl isn't good friends with anyone in her cave and only lives with them for protection. She dislikes most dragons she meets, and at times it seems that her only friends are the flamingos. But even she and the flamingos could never be true friends, for they are such different species. Although somewhat alike in looks, Screeching Fowl's personality is much different from that of the social birds she sleeps with.
