Speckle-Throated Dragons are an active, playful breed. They are easily excited and rarely remain still, spending much of their time in the air. Living in groups of up to sixty dragons, they nest in open plains and at the bases of mountains. Their speckled throats are their most distinctive feature, as well as the loud, echoing call they produce to communicate with one another. Male Speckle-Throats have a small crest on top of their heads, which they can flush with blood to intimidate enemies and attract mates.

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.

While not the most pragmatic dragon, Tufenip is a carefree and cheerful dragon. He loves to tease and pull pranks on other dragons and humans. Most of the clan has learned to accept his constant playing, and Tufenip has learned to keep his distance from certain members. He has a strong sense of curiosity and loves to play with the hatchlings.

Tufenip only stays in the cave to sleep; it's too crowded for him, and he would much rather stay outdoors. Even when the weather is bad, he will only stay inside if he absolutely has to. You can always tell where he is just by listening. Tufenip loves the sound of his voice and has a habit of singing at the top of his lungs.
