Flamingo Wyverns are so named for their resemblance to the tropical birds with whom they often share territory. Their most striking feature is the bony black crest over their faces and snouts, smaller in females, aiding both in digging up food and protection from attack. Females are noticeably brighter than males due to their habit of not straying far from particularly algae-rich feeding grounds.

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.

The Cave Mistress sat and stared at Ondine, deep in thought.

With every new species introduced to the clan more needs were produced due to habitat and diet requirements. This had resulted in a large number of wars with surrounding clans as the family expanded to accommodate everyone.  This was understandable, but the lake in which Ondine was feeding in had up until a few days ago been a small village. The Mistress was worried that someone might retaliate.

Just as she thought this she spied a boat on the opposite shore. It was full of hunters and they were rowing with some determination towards Ondine. The Mistress leapt to her feet and shouted a warning, but the wind drowned out her cries. She could only stand and watch as they drew closer to the feeding Flamingo  wyvern.

Suddenly there was a giant splash and a crunch of wood as Nemoe erupted from below the lakes surface and quickly devoured the boat. The Mistress sank back down to her knees in shock.

Silly of her to worry really.
