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.

As one of the first whip-tail dragons of the clan, Aryandt is greatly cherished. He is a speedy devil with no sense of fair play. He is a fierce fighter and a fierce protector, especially of Ilyandt. Aryandt considers Ilyandt his brother, though they are not related by blood. The two were brought together as eggs, hatched together, and matured together. As the more outgoing "brother", Aryandt takes it upon himself to protect Ilyandt and avenge any foul word said against the other dragon. He has no apparent need for a mate or eggs at this point, considering Ilyandt to be his only family, but he will nevertheless be expected to contribute to the population.
