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, larger in males, aiding both in digging up food and protection when fighting for mates. Males are duller in color than females due to their habit of wandering from nest to nest and picking from less 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.

Numbah Eight Dancer is named because he has a fixed obsession with the number eight. He must always be in the eighth position if preforming a dance with many flamingos, he likes things to sit in groups of eight to the point of being agitated if they aren't. When his hoard isn't easily divided into eight equal groups of eight he gets nervous and has even been caught trying to steal things to bring his hoard back into the equal groups of eight.
