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.

Speedy Speed is a fun fellow. He loves to play with the little hatchlings and talk to other wandering dragons. He's quite amiable and kind-hearted. Then one day, a dragon by the name of Zippity Zoop stole his meal. He was quite too slow at the time, but from that day onward, he promised revenge. And revenge he did get. He played the same trick on her, and stole a delicious looking fowl just before she was ready to pounce. However, he was struck by her beauty and the uncanny intelligence in her eyes. His heart was won over and he offered the bird to her, ready to apologize and scurry off back in the underbrush. Yet, to his great astonishment and pleasure, Zippity Zoop invited him to share the delicious bird, and so, Speedy Speed and Zippity Zoop are now inseparable whiptails, running through the underbrush.
