Hellfire Wyverns are so named for their foul tempers and fiery visages. Their social structure places all females above all males, due to superior physical characteristics and violent dispositions. Forced subservience of the males causes them to become vicious, petty, antisocial, and passive-aggressive compared to the aggressive and social females. However, orphaned hatchlings raised by foster parents of another species can develop surprisingly even tempers and mellow dispositions, proving that their defining unpleasant nature is, in fact, a learned behavior.

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.

Primal Fear, of course subordinate to the female Hellfire Wyverns, is the highest-ranking male in his group. He is able to keep his position due to his strength and viciousness, but he is by no means without competition. Especially Blashykh never stops trying to get closer to the top, but so far Primal Fear always managed to subdue any attempts at mutiny very quickly. After all, he knows that the females don't like to be disturbed by any male squabbles.
