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.

Tigerclaw is a fast dragon. She races in the speed races with her cavemates, always winning. She practices with Brackenwing. Since both of them win (the prize is all the meat or bugs you can eat for a year) they don't have to hunt. All day they practice together. They fell in love after a while. The owner wouldn't allow them to have children so they were prepared to run away but the clan convinced them not to. The owner then explained that you can't children now but sometime later. They became happy and thanked the clan for not letting them go away.
