Bright-Breasted Wyverns are a breed of dragon easily recognized by their bright red markings. They are a small breed, only the size of a full-grown man. However, they have developed poisonous barbs on their feet to make up for their size. Their coloration is used to warn off potential predators of the danger, and is also used to attract mates. They are very social, and can often be seen preening in large groups.

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.

Skittiche took her turn as lookout for her nesting group, but turned out to be too nervous for the position.  Any shadow or unexpected movement startled her, so she alarmed at things such as passing crows and falling leaves.  After several false alarms, the group finally decided she could take extra turns at tending the eggs instead; this allowed those less suited to tending the eggs the chance to stand an extra watch instead.

All the dragons are much calmer now, though Skittiche still jumps at little things.  Fortunately, cracking eggs are something the other dragons like being called to check out.
