Nhiostrife Wyverns are one of the few known breeds of wyvern with more than one set of wings. Because of their four wings, Nhiostrifes are very nimble in the air and control their movements with ease. When it’s mating season, males put on a very beautiful and unique air dance in an attempt to charm a female. The amount of stripes on their wings vary, with more stripes being more attractive, although most have only two to four. Their general attitude is very passive and curious—they only fight if they or their families are in danger.

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.

Rhino is quite strong and heavily built for a member of his breed. Unfortunately Rhino is also a bit of a klutz. No one is sure why, because other Nhiostrifes are perfectly capable of elegant flight even without good eye sight, but Rhino obviously never developed the kind of physical body awareness that enables his brethren to move through the air with sure confidence. Instead, more often than not, Rhino will find himself entangled with wings and limbs and necks with some other dragon whenever he takes flight.
