Feisty and energetic, Whiptail Dragons pride themselves on their speed and agility. It is not unusual to see several whiptails racing each other. Though fragile, they can easily evade attacks with their superior speed, and often use their long tails as a weapon, giving rise to their name.

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.

Speeding Pebble is considered to be a very traditional Whiptail dragon. He loves to race other dragons, on land and in the air, sometimes bullying other dragons into racing him. Although he can be a bully sometimes, this male is always sportsmanlike, accepting the winner of these runs, whether it be himself or his opponent. Some of the dragons in his cave say that Speeding Pebble even runs in his sleep, but whether this is rumour or the truth is unknown.
