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.

Akoka was found as an egg; she was stolen from the main cave. Her name means "the noise maker" and she certainly lives up to the title. Akoka is very energetic, and is constantly annoying the other dragons by emitting high-pitched squeaks and whipping them with her tail. In spite of this mean streak, she proves useful with her cunning hunting abilities.
