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.

Screechfire, a large Hellfire Wyvern dragoness, is usually quite quick to judge, as well as vain. She spends most of her time making sure her scales are the most dazzling (which they usually aren't) and usually patrolling "her" mountain (which she shares with a few other dragons but considers the land as her own). The dragoness has a fiery temper and holds grudges over the smallest of things. She is decently strong, and an ace flyer, but often doesn't pay much attention.
