Feisty and energetic, Whiptail Dragons pride themselves on their speed and agility. It is not unusual to see several whiptails racing each other. Though fragile, they can easily evade attacks with their superior speed, and often use their long tails as a weapon, giving rise to their name.

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.

Thimphu's feet are fast, but her mind is slow, and she has the mentality of a child. One night, she looked over her pile of gold and jewels and was so pleased with her collecting ability and decided to swim in the treasure, beginning by diving into it. Onto it. The nearby red and xenowyrm responded quickly enough to mend Thimphu's arm and ease her head trauma, but of course there'd be long-term effects to getting one's skull cracked open. She's always been kind of a "hatchling at heart", but now her behaviour is unsettling to others.
