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.

Ophelia adores running and can often be seen charging around the forest in which she lives. Despite her love for running, however, she is slower than her other whiptail dragon companions and becomes depressed because of it. While she is in a negative mood it is near impossible for anyone to console her and so when she appears glum, most dragons dash in the opposite direction. When Ophelia feels cheerful, she practices her running in order to become faster.
