Originating from a single species that thrived in ancient times, Xenowyrms have become an incredibly diverse breed whose appearances vary depending on their habitats. Each Xenowyrm subspecies is heavily reliant on the power of different types of mana, making them powerful magic users. Pyros are easily the heaviest of all Xenowyrm subspecies and they use their weight to their advantage. If scorching their foes with flames doesn’t finish them off, Pyros will use the weight of their bodies for sheer crushing power. They create their lairs solely in volcanic regions, where lava and billowing flames are the land’s most prominent features.

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.

Walloper has a light interest in boats but knows little about them. Since she normally doesn't interact with other beings other than eat them sometimes, the boat thing is the only recorded observation humans have made of her. Her ignorance of water transports used by humans makes sense considering she lives on a volcano with a searing temperature. This didn't stop her from sliding down the mountain to a riverside settlement to attempt to build a boat, as a tribute to human engineering. The mishmash of metal and wood looked like a boat from afar, but, importantly, it had no floor. When Walloper placed it in the water, it sank immediately. To the onlookers watching with confused fear and then confused interest, she was either an artist making a statement, or a fool. They preferred the former interpretation. When she left, they raised the boat-shaped artwork and put it on a dais. The label reads "Walloper", though people are unsure whether that's the name of the piece or the sculptor.
