Bright-Breasted Wyverns are a breed of dragon easily recognized by their bright red markings. They are a small breed, only the size of a full-grown man. However, they have developed poisonous barbs on their feet to make up for their size. Their coloration is used to warn off potential predators of the danger, and is also used to attract mates. They are very social, and can often be seen preening in large groups.

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.

A majestic creature whose flock can regularly be seen blanketing the ruins of an ancient temple, this one seems to serve as some sort of leader within the flight. Whenever a human explorer draws too close to the ruins, she lets out a sharp cry that sends the rest of the group wheeling into uniform movement to drive off the intruder. This has led to a great deal of fury on the part of the ousted ones, and more than once they have returned accompanied by dragon slayers. But upon doing so, the pack is never seen, and the triumphant searcher is free to enter the temple, heedless of the dark paintings on the walls, the red markings...

None of those arrogant souls has ever returned, but this creature and her pack do, letting out whispers like sighs as they prepare to try to warn off the next poor soul that comes to that bleak place...
