Scimitar-wing Wyverns are a small breed, eating mainly birds and small vertebrates; as such, they lack the large teeth and heavy claws of their larger cousins. They are far from defenseless, however, and are named for the blade-like growth that forms over the first digit of their wings. The wyverns use these blades to defend themselves from any attacker. Their blades are quite strong and can cut through almost any scale or hide.

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.

Bagginess is named "Bagginess" because she is not baggy at all. This is called "irony". Everything to her is ironic, and if something clearly isn't, she'll ramble and twist the words and ideas until it's ironic. The concept means whatever she wants it to mean. Telling other dragons they're stupid and cowardly when they really aren't is a kind of irony, but they don't seem to appreciate the art of words. Bagginess also laughs at her own jokes, and if no one else laughs, she laughs louder to fill the silence.
