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.

Ynni has always seen himself as deserving respect, even while other dragons disagree with that. If anyone was to express a different opinion however, he would simply accuse them of talking back, and simply ignoring other dragon's valid comments and opinions just because they were younger than him. Ynni does not seem to understand that patronizing the other dragon's opinions is rude, yet continues to demand an unhealthy level of respect, backing his views up with his authority to give him an unfair advantage over the other dragons, meaning he tends to win these 'fair' discussions. If he even suspects that somebody might be winning the argument, he will either tell them to drop the subject, or to take it up with him privately, where the rest of the cave do not have to hear his ludicrous and half thought out views. On the occasion that someone will take it up with him in an open area, he will bluff his way through a speech, referring to non-existent previous points he made.
