Feisty and energetic, Whiptail Dragons pride themselves on their speed and agility. It is not unusual to see several whiptails racing each other. Though fragile, they can easily evade attacks with their superior speed, and often use their long tails as a weapon, giving rise to their name.

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.

It was noon, and the desert heat was slowly getting to her. Iris shook her head, determined to make the despondent thoughts go away.

The recipient of her message was expecting her in two days at the soonest, and that was taking in the whiptails' exceptional speed. She narrowed her eyes. Then again, she could make it in half that time if she were to only stop for a few mouthfuls of water. She nodded to herself decisively.
