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.

Being raised by very meek and very unassuming dragons, Taffy is very sweet and mellow, especially for a male Flamingo. Like his cousin, Strawberry, and uncle, Paradise, Taffy deeply believes in protecting the weak and innocent, although unlike those two, Taffy is much less intense and robust. He's much quieter and prefers simple gestures to grand expressions. Rather than advertise himself as a hero, Taffy just supports smaller dragons and let's them know he's there, specifically so with his cousin, Licorice, whose shyness and social ineptitude gets her bullied. Often times, he will hang out with her and just let her know he cares. He does this with plenty of dragons, just anyone who needs a friend. Of course, Taffy has to deal with his own slew of chastising and criticism from none other than Paradise, who insists he should be bolder and louder so as to defend his mother. In these situations, Taffy usually just ends up smiling and nodding, he's not the kind of dragon to start trouble.
