Each Fever Wyvern carries a unique and very deadly disease on the spines of its tail. To make up for a lack of physical strength, the dragons use this disease to their advantage by poisoning prey and fending off attackers. The illness will quickly render victims helpless before eventually killing them. A Fever will track its prey until the target can no longer move. Usually a solitary breed, these dragons will only come together during mating season, and will flare out the brightly colored sails along their wings to help attract potential mates. Although it has been observed that the wyverns are nocturnal, they will often pick an open spot of sunshine to curl up in and sleep as the day passes by.

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.

kipsq has an interesting idea of democracy. Her idea is that the way to achieve widespread support is to change peoples' minds, which would be alright if her idea of the appropriate method of changing a mind did not involve the direct application of a piece of rock to said mind. She experimented for some time with the use of her plague in mind-changing, but while many were suggestible during fever-dreams, too many died of fever wyvern plague before they could vote. So, she sticks with the rocks. 36MUD is one of the few dragons who approves of kipsq's 'democracy' and indeed, he actively encourages her to spread positive information about his dungeon. She once managed to change the mind of a cavern lurker quite successfully with her technique. Recently, she has been trying to change the mind of a plated colossus, but his skull is too thick and kipsq isn't strong enough to "get through to him" (as it were).
