Swallowtail Dragons are graceful and quick flyers, much like their namesake bird. They are capable of precise aerial acrobatics, and can reach very high altitudes. Because of this, humans observing these dragons are often astonished at how large they are when confronted up close. A Swallowtail’s diet consists of insects and small mammals plentiful in temperate forests. These dragons are also made remarkable by their paper-thin wing membranes, which allow light to pass through, creating an astonishing effect on starry nights.

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.

Wingman925, a Swallowtail Dragon, is one of the fastest in his species. Although they are naturally fast, he is much faster. As if to compensate for his speed, he is not the best fighter, and tries to avoid fighting as much as possible. If he does get in a fight, chances are he will fly away, but he can land in a few quick strikes before doing so. He is highly protective of the eggs and hatchlings in the cave he lives in, and may pick up as much as he can and fly away if he senses danger afoot.
