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.

Due to the influence of her Copper mother, Infernoflower is a surprisingly sociable Hellfire Wyvern, even a bit of an entrepreneur. Whenever there's a festival or celebration to be held, she sets up a stall and gets to work crafting fiery trinkets and decorations that last for several days without actually burning. She's most known among the local sweethearts for her elaborate flowers and bouquets, complete with little notes featuring such sayings as "I'm burning with love for you", "You fire up my heart", or the always classy "I think you're hot!"
