Feisty and energetic, Whiptail Dragons pride themselves on their speed and agility. It is not unusual to see several whiptails racing each other. Though fragile, they can easily evade attacks with their superior speed, and often use their long tails as a weapon, giving rise to their name.

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.

Daithi Govad is true to his kind, perhaps even with an extra hint of talent. As a whiptail, Daithi, or 'Dai', is proud of his agility and speed skills, though he does not actually reach hubris. Daithi is quite the feisty dragon- he often quarrels with Kaimana Kalani, and their fiery tongues have forced Militades to drift out and scold the pair many times. Daithi, when not having blowouts with Kaimana, is mostly seen as a brown blur searing across the sky. As a result, the other dragons have banned him from the egg-hatchling den, fearing an accident resulting in the harming of a young dragon or a helpless egg. Daithi is an adamant bachelor, so he doesn't really mind the ban- much. Daithi, to avoid trouble, will do daytime errands for the other dragons, or keep an eye out for enemy dragon clans, battling 'loner' dragons that stray too close to the cave.
