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.

Kooryan was the first dragon Jallycyn raised to adulthood, and, as such, she's a little bit spoiled, though still a friendly dragon. Her quirk is that she will only eat insects. No matter what food she's offered, she will refuse it if it doesn't have six legs and scuttle satisfactorily. As a result, Kooryan often spends all day hunting for insects, and usually eats from 3,000 to 4,000 a day. Grasshoppers are her absolute favourite.
