Swallowtail Dragons are graceful and quick flyers, much like their namesake bird. They are capable of precise aerial acrobatics, and can reach very high altitudes. Because of this, humans observing these dragons are often astonished at how large they are when confronted up close. A Swallowtail’s diet consists of insects and small mammals plentiful in temperate forests. These dragons are also made remarkable by their paper-thin wing membranes, which allow light to pass through, creating an astonishing effect on starry nights.

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.

A highly impressionable male, this creature has spent the majority of his life trying to be "cool." Whatever the other dragons do, he has to do, too--whether that be kidnapping damsels, devouring sheep, or sleeping on glittering piles of gold. However, one thing has always driven him crazy: all the other dragons have single tails, but his is forked! Quite bothered by this, he tries to convince everyone that he really has a single tail, which was just cut into two during an accident--but no one believes him. He's terrified about what this'll mean for his popularity status!
