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.

Wyvern Scar got his name because of his breed and color. He is a Carmine Wyvern, thus resulting in the Wyvern part. The Scar part came from his mostly scarlet body, but Scarlet sounds like a girl's name. His first name was Corraline because his owner could not think of anything else, and Corraline reminded her of red somehow. He currently does not have a "set mate" (the single mate that his owner chose for that dragon)or any children. He hates King Galletian Redstone, but is good friends with the other adults. He helps Queen Pixa take care of his owner's hatchlings that do not have families.

Scar is one of the only three males that does NOT want a mate. He is ashamed of his appearance, as he has never seen any other Carmines, and does not know that they all have the same shades as him.
