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.

Hyperactive Stone Mechanism is rather famous for her massive stone house, built far out into the desert. Apparently, it serves as a guiding landmark for weary travelers, and she invites fellow dragons to her home to spend the night. That is, those who can find it, and it is quite easy to do so when the desert is dark, for her house has a massive beacon on top that can be seen from far, far away. How this beacon works is a mystery, but apparently Hyperactive Stone Mechanism collects wood from the desert shrubs she grows and piles them in the beacon, where they are lit using a massive stone mechanism that sends many sparks flying right into the firewood. This giant mechanism takes up most of her home, and how it is powered is her own little secret: she spends hours on end running in a giant stone wheel, which turns her mechanism that smashes two rocks together to make a spark. After all, Whiptails love running, and really, in the end, that is what she does.
