Nhiostrife Wyverns are one of the few known breeds of wyvern with more than one set of wings. Because of their four wings, Nhiostrifes are very nimble in the air and control their movements with ease. When it’s mating season, males put on a very beautiful and unique air dance in an attempt to charm a female. The amount of stripes on their wings vary, with more stripes being more attractive, although most have only two to four. Their general attitude is very passive and curious—they only fight if they or their families are in danger.

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.

Necessary in the cause, another member of the Oddly Named Dragons from Who-Knows-Where, studies the makeup of various kinds of surfaces that ground-bound creatures walk upon. He reports his findings to people (usually humans) in the transportation and layout planning sectors of their communities, who may or may not use the information. Necessary is compensated with food, which isn't much if one were to compare the amount to a monetary sum, but he's satisfied that he doesn't have to hunt and gather food himself. As a dragon who hardly uses his feet, he seems hardly fit for the job, but people for the most part have gotten used to his presence at town halls and committees.
