Carmine Wyverns are active predators found most commonly in tropical regions. They have a poor sense of smell and are primarily dependent on sight and sound to hunt. These dragons are lightweight and quick, and tend to flee from rivals rather than attempt to fight. When a confrontation does occur it usually involves large amounts of posturing and displaying to make the wyverns appear larger and stronger than their opponents, and one will often surrender and leave without a fight ever actually occurring. They are dedicated parents and usually mate for life, though the degree of loyalty to a partner varies between individuals and within individual pairings.

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.

Floccesy lives in a town among some hills, somewhat uncomfortably. He is happiest living in a very wet forest, but the climate of his current home is mediterranean, and even spring days can be dry. He does this for his human partner, who rescued the egg from an abandoned pile in a desert. Rosa has been such a sweet lady and loves this place so much that Floccesy doesn't have the heart to tell her that he's being picky. He could survive on his own if he had to, but it's hard to leave his human when he's lived with her and her family for thirty years. So he stays put and is probably happier with these humans anyway.
