Hellfire Wyverns are so named for their foul tempers and fiery visages. Their social structure places all females above all males, due to superior physical characteristics and violent dispositions. Forced subservience of the males causes them to become vicious, petty, antisocial, and passive-aggressive compared to the aggressive and social females. However, orphaned hatchlings raised by foster parents of another species can develop surprisingly even tempers and mellow dispositions, proving that their defining unpleasant nature is, in fact, a learned behavior.

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.

Meseket is named after the boat many different deities use to ferry souls into the underworld. Wren found this egg in the abandoned cave and has watched it curiously all throughout its growth cycle. Eventually, when Meseket matured into an adult, he developed a vigorously aggressive nature, frightening many of the other dragons. Ziburinis is immensely terrified of Meseket, which Wren feels bad about. As a result, she keeps the hellfire dragon away from the others except for Govanon, whom he is significantly less aggressive towards.
