Bright-Breasted Wyverns are a breed of dragon easily recognized by their bright red markings. They are a small breed, only the size of a full-grown man. However, they have developed poisonous barbs on their feet to make up for their size. Their coloration is used to warn off potential predators of the danger, and is also used to attract mates. They are very social, and can often be seen preening in large groups.

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.

This particular dragon seems to have the title of mystic or prophet within his flock, as the entire group sees to it that he is fed and cleaned and cared for. Some might suggest that his pack only shows this behavior towards him because of his blindness, and the fact that he is slim-built and sickly; but while the clan does indeed show much care towards the other crippled members of the group, they take especial care towards this one, and when he has his strange fits--haunting cries loosed in sudden, wild patterns, body shivering restlessly--the entire tribe pays extremely careful attention to whatever message has channeled through him. However, the creature does not seem to enjoy the lavish amount of attention heaped on him for his powers, and can often be seen trying to crawl away to a quiet, lonely spot to rest without other members of the pack scrambling over to curl around him and keep him warm and captive.
