Tri-Horn Wyverns are a mountainous species, living in high altitude areas among rocks and snow. The rough and rugged climate has bred a tough and hardened species, prepared to do battle with both the elements and other creatures. Their most distinctive feature is the three-horned crest mounted upon their head, for which they were named; these toughened spikes are powerful weapons, used to battle against predators, prey and fellow Tri-Horn Wyverns. Both males and females of this species fight for territory and resources, and wear scars with pride. However, Tri-Horn wyverns have a soft side beneath their many spikes. They work in loyal packs, of which they are deeply protective; if one can gain their trust, Tri-Horn wyverns can be powerful allies through the mountains.

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.

Volstagg is best friends with Vorlorn. The two Trihorns can constantly be found hunting, chasing the ladies, competing in physical combat, or indulging in fermented fruit until they pass out. Volstagg is a loyal friend and he does everything he does in a larger-than-life way. If a dragon is loud, Volstagg will let out a deafening belch. If a dragon eats huge amounts, Volstagg will annihilate any food in sight and throw the bones over his shoulder heedlessly. If a dragon shows his strength by lifting a large boulder, Volstagg will throw it up and head-butt it on its merry way.

The only dragon even louder and more impressive than Volstagg is his mate Valkyrie.
