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.

Dhumburunila feels her name is boring. All the dragons she lives with have similar names, and she doesn't think it shows how important she is as the leader of all the dragons she lives with. Until she comes up with a better name, she will be stuck with this one, and unluckily for her, she is not good with names. No one ever told her what her name meant, but she thinks it might be in a language that was used by dragons long ago.
