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.

Because of her having practically no contact with her foul-tempered species, Fallen Comet has become sweet, but it would be going to far to say she was even tempered. She tends to be mischievous, sometimes going too far in her jokes, but rarely does it end with anything more than a laugh. She has a bitter disdain for the rest of her species, and their ways. She vows she will never mate with a male of her species, unless they, like her, were raised outside of a large colony. She will not have children with a petty, antisocial male.
