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.

Right Leg Limp Temeraire is so named because her leg has been lame since she got it stuck between two boulders in a cave-in while hunting. Her mate, Dark Ochre Kiriyu, abandoned her because she could no longer provide for their beloved daughter Fire Splash Kiriyu. Right Leg Limp was once the beautiful and successful Blossom Shadow, but now she spends her days in a stinky, dark, bat-filled cave, living off fallen baby bats and mourning the loss of her family.
