Falconiform Wyverns are normally shy creatures. However, when approached, they often feel threatened, and the flames along their bodies leap higher. Females tend to be smaller than males, though Falconiform Wyverns are typically rather large overall. They use their size to their advantage by hunting smaller dragons. The Falconiform’s graceful, swooping dives are said to resemble birds of prey. Falconiforms are largely solitary dragons that only meet in order to breed.

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.

This is Zakuye, a dragon that is perhaps better titled Zakuye the Coward. He is a nervous creature that hides deep in the Northernmost mountains, so that he can blend in not only with the night but the aurora as well. Although he is a massive beast, he cowers and shrinks against the rocks to look as small as he can. It's a wonder he can hunt at all given his lack of confidence, but he does miss a lot of meals. He is rail-thin and his scales are a particularly dull matte. He's well aware that he is a shameful thing.
