Each Fever Wyvern carries a unique and very deadly disease on the spines of its tail. To make up for a lack of physical strength, the dragons use this disease to their advantage by poisoning prey and fending off attackers. The illness will quickly render victims helpless before eventually killing them. A Fever will track its prey until the target can no longer move. Usually a solitary breed, these dragons will only come together during mating season, and will flare out the brightly colored sails along their wings to help attract potential mates. Although it has been observed that the wyverns are nocturnal, they will often pick an open spot of sunshine to curl up in and sleep as the day passes by.

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.

There was a dreadful storm raging outside and Hewrey hated getting wet. Thankfully he had spied the open window and was able to climb through it and slink under a nearby bed. It was warm and dry in here, just the right place for a nap.

A few moments later he was dimly aware of something climbing off the bed above him and opening his eyes he was able to see two small pink feet disappearing through a nearby door. There were voices, one older than the other, but Hewrey paid them no heed. Instead he tried to settle back down to sleep.

He was disturbed again when the door re-opened. The small pink feet had returned with a shoed larger pair.

"There is no such thing as monsters sweetie" he heard the older voice say. "Watch."

Suddenly an arm appeared under the bed, waving around inches from Hewrey's nose. Annoyed that he was being bothered yet again Hewrey struck out with his tail.

Great. Now they were screaming.
