Flamingo Wyverns are so named for their resemblance to the tropical birds with whom they often share territory. Their most striking feature is the bony black crest over their faces and snouts, larger in males, aiding both in digging up food and protection when fighting for mates. Males are duller in color than females due to their habit of wandering from nest to nest and picking from less algae-rich feeding grounds.

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.

Phineas is constantly trying to learn something new and has picked up quite a few skills that one wouldn't expect a Flamingo Wyvern to have. Some of them are useful, like fighting techniques, earth magic, and psychology. Others less so, such as human hair-styling. Due to the sheer amounts of things he tosses himself into, he has yet to master, or in quite a few cases, rise above a novice's skill in such fields. Even with his surprising age, he's yet to be proficient in over a half of the "talents" acquired. Though certainly it isn't from lack of trying.

He seems like a scientific minded type who is constantly curious, which is true. This curiosity has extended into a strange wish that Phineas hides for the time being. Given the fact that it's to mate with every species of dragon that he is biologically able to, it won't stay secret for long. The few who do know this have noticed him looking at a few of the two-headed and vampire dragons with some frustration.
