Tri-Horn Wyverns are a mountainous species, living in high altitude areas among rocks and snow. The rough and rugged climate has bred a tough and hardened species, prepared to do battle with both the elements and other creatures. Their most distinctive feature is the three-horned crest mounted upon their head, for which they were named; these toughened spikes are powerful weapons, used to battle against predators, prey and fellow Tri-Horn Wyverns. Both males and females of this species fight for territory and resources, and wear scars with pride. However, Tri-Horn wyverns have a soft side beneath their many spikes. They work in loyal packs, of which they are deeply protective; if one can gain their trust, Tri-Horn wyverns can be powerful allies through the mountains.

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.

Vanderbilt is a dangerously stubborn and easy to anger dragon. He is also not the sharpest claw on the paw. At first he didn't even question the strong magical winds that kept sweeping him away in the most inconvenient moments only to have him appear miles and miles away from his original spot next to some Ember hatchling in some trouble or other. It even took him two repeats to figure out it was the same little hatchling every time.

What he has yet to figure out is that his constant fly ins with that stupid Fever Kimono are connected to the little hatchling Rise as well
