Flamingo Wyverns are so named for their resemblance to the tropical birds with whom they often share territory. Their most striking feature is the bony black crest over their faces and snouts, larger in males, aiding both in digging up food and protection when fighting for mates. Males are duller in color than females due to their habit of wandering from nest to nest and picking from less algae-rich feeding grounds.

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.

Rose Thorn Flamingo is a typical flamingo except for the fact that he adores roses. As a hatchling he was always playing underneath his master's rose bushes and because he adored them so much his master gave him a plot of earth to plant his own. He's very protective of his roses and will chase off any dragon who comes near them without his permission. He travels some looking for new and unique specimens to grow. He hopes to one day find the legendary blue rose plant and grow them for himself.
