Flamingo Wyverns are so named for their resemblance to the tropical birds with whom they often share territory. Their most striking feature is the bony black crest over their faces and snouts, smaller in females, aiding both in digging up food and protection from attack. Females are noticeably brighter than males due to their habit of not straying far from particularly algae-rich feeding grounds.

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.

Passthrough was raised on a riverside farm and moved out toward the coast once she was too big to fit through the shed door. The day she left, "Mom" even let her take all the farming tools she could carry, in case she wanted to do some farming wherever she ended up. She enjoys eating shellfish, apricots, radishes, and whatever parts of large animals her humans wouldn't eat, such as knuckles and heads. Most of Passthrough's diet is fished or scavenged, and conveniently, a lot of other meat eaters in her current territory leave behind the stuff she likes. As a principle, she doesn't go after flamingos (the birds, though the dragons are also outside her dietary preferences), since she has a fondness for them. When she was small, many humans liked to compare her to flamingos and tell her she'll be bigger than them in a scant few years but will be equally stately, lively, and graceful. She feels that harming one would be like attacking herself.
