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.

Ziyth views the world with much more scrutiny than his mate, Arvira, yet he still shares her wandering spirit and the adventurous couple compare findings when they arrive back at the cave from reconnaissance. Although this often inspires them to go out again and see what else they can discover, they are both enjoying each other's company for now. Ziyth also reveals his strong tolerance for hatchlings as they play with his tail and sleep on top of him while the flamingo pair excitedly spin their trips into wild tales. These also entertain those of the clan who've chosen to stay in the cave at night, near the radiant glow of the fires.
