Rift Wyrms are dragons adapted to both the frigid depths of the sea and the void that exists in the space between spaces. They have the ability to rip holes in the fabric of space that lead into and out of the void, and can manipulate the size and location of these rifts with additional effort. Their bodies give off an unsettling chill, while their mouths tend to glow from the mana they’ve consumed. Between their appearance and their method of travel, Rift Wyrms have a reputation as eldritch creatures that do not belong in this world. They tend to have a mischievous streak facilitated by their abilities. This ranges by individual from harmless japery to active malevolence, and many people and dragons are wary of them. Despite their reputation as tricksters, these wyrms are curious and may choose to help others on a whim just as often as they decide to harm.

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.

She is The Friendly Beasts, and she doesn't know either why "Beasts" is plural. She hails from a banana-shaped island far from Galsreim and arrived to the continent through a random hole created by another rift wyrm. She likes to pop into human-inhabited towns to say hi and occasionally offer little gifts from the void. Years ago, before The Friendly Beasts was able spell-cast using all the correct steps, she would enter a populated area and go through or push aside objects that were in the rift's path, which got really messy sometimes and made her unpopular with a lot of people. Fortunately, nobody thought she was malevolent because she would apologize profusely and try to help clean up, by porting everything she broke through another hole, which usually wasn't appreciated, either. Those years are behind her, and now, she's usually regarded as a pleasant and not-overly-disruptive guest whose eerie gifts should be handled with great care or declined.
