Black Capped Teimarr are a small and sociable breed of dragon with an appetite for seafood. They can commonly be seen flitting around sand dunes and tidal marshes, searching for crabs and other aquatic invertebrates, or cavorting in tidal pools in hopes of finding landlocked fish. Because of their large wing-to-body size, they are excellent long distance fliers and are known to migrate hundreds of miles along coastlines, or even across open sea to outlying islands in search of seasonal delicacies such as bird eggs, fledglings and schooling bait fish. The males are easily distinguished by their large jousting horns and their extendable neck frill, which they show off to the females through enthusiastic head bobbing.

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.

Allegory is a social traveler who spends her time going about different groups at her Clan's sea side, from hanging out with others of her kind to shuffling about the noisy Coastal Waverunner rookeries. She is known for being curious but sassy, often poking fun at others when she can; she is well aware of her own skills and likes to taunt those she can easily get away from. For this reason many find her an annoyance, though some find her amusing, as it's not like she's evil or malevolent. If someone's in danger she won't hesitate to forget all her other plans and find a way to help out, even if it's someone she doesn't like.
