Originating from a single species that thrived in ancient times, Xenowyrms have become an incredibly diverse breed whose appearances vary depending on their habitats. Each Xenowyrm subspecies is heavily reliant on the power of different types of mana, making them powerful magic users. Pyros are easily the heaviest of all Xenowyrm subspecies and they use their weight to their advantage. If scorching their foes with flames doesn’t finish them off, Pyros will use the weight of their bodies for sheer crushing power. They create their lairs solely in volcanic regions, where lava and billowing flames are the land’s most prominent features.

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.

Pyrshy has one trait that isn't characteristic to his species: his crippling shyness. When asked a question, he tends to respond with wide, fearful eyes and a clamped-shut mouth, maintaining this expression even if he does eventually end up answering telepathically. He avoids confrontation with any dragon, and just straight-up avoids anything larger than a Mint. He does seem to have the patent Pyro anger somewhere in there, though, as when his human comes to visit his lair, burnt items and scorched patches of ground can be found. These are generally discovered before the dragon himself, hiding behind a large rock.
