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, larger in males, aiding both in digging up food and protection when fighting for mates. Males are duller in color than females due to their habit of wandering from nest to nest and picking from less 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.

While Wonderful Dancer of Oz is a good dancer, he barely uses it to his advantage. Unlike most flamingo wyverns he has a soft spot for hatchlings. Why this is no one is sure, but he can be found telling stories of a magical place called Oz where evil dragons are destroyed by water, heroes win recognition, and there is really no place like home. When he is asked about his attachment to the hatchlings he either becomes angry and threatens the other dragon, or gets a very sad look, and mopes until the other dragon leaves.

The truth is, the Wonderful Dancer of Oz will never have any hatchlings to call his own, as he does not like females, and he is too scared to attempt to adopt a hatchling of his own.
