Hellfire Wyverns are so named for their foul tempers and fiery visages. Their social structure places all females above all males, due to superior physical characteristics and violent dispositions. Forced subservience of the males causes them to become vicious, petty, antisocial, and passive-aggressive compared to the aggressive and social females. However, orphaned hatchlings raised by foster parents of another species can develop surprisingly even tempers and mellow dispositions, proving that their defining unpleasant nature is, in fact, a learned behavior.

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.

This dragon's fire, being red rather than the mighty blue, is actually quite weak compared to that of some of the other male's and most of the female's of his kind. Some speculate that this is because he was raised by the gentle Mint Dragons, the playful Dark Myst Pygmies, and one elderly White Dragon who taught him that death was never needed to win a war. He is a decent fighter as well, preferring to fight with speed, wit, and grace rather than brash force. Though he can be quite a match in a battle, he could never beat the champion of the Hellfire Wyverns' queen.
