Bright-Breasted Wyverns are a breed of dragon easily recognized by their bright red markings. They are a small breed, only the size of a full-grown man. However, they have developed poisonous barbs on their feet to make up for their size. Their coloration is used to warn off potential predators of the danger, and is also used to attract mates. They are very social, and can often be seen preening in large groups.

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.

Palapu has long since abandoned his old life, his family, friends, even his birth name.  He had once been captured by the fearsome Valfedora; a notorious cannibal dragon known as 'The Blood-Flamingo Wyvern'. Palapu had been extremely lucky that Valfedora spared his life in return for being forever in-debt as her hunting partner. The duo are extremely deadly; Palapu, with his small statue and quick flight maneuverability through the tricky swamp vines and branches and hawk-like eye sight, he is able to track down prey for Valfedora. He simply uses the venomous spikes on his hind legs to stab the victim and he simply follows until the victim collapses from the venom's effect. At this point, Palapu calls for Valfedora as she delivers the final blow and feeds. Valfedora figured it would be best to feed her prisoner meat so he would become strong like her, so he too devours whatever leftovers Valfedora leaves. Palapu had since become twisted like the Blood-Flamingo and refuses to leave her.
