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.

Feisty, hyper, and yet somewhat affectionate and playful, Akeelah is one of the most active members of her clan. She has a very short attention span and almost all of the male dragons want her for a mate. She however, already has a mate; Zeke Young, and the two are raising some hatchlings together. The two have a love for racing and flying, and that has spread to their hatchlings, making them the fastest dragons out of the entire clan.
