Aether Wyverns have the ability to control winds utilising air mana. During mating season, rival males often attempt to impress females by hanging onto a rock beside the female and letting another Aether Wyvern blast gale-force winds at them. The one to stay on the rock the longest wins, and if the female wins, she will reject both males. These wyverns also use their ability to control winds to blow away intruding dragons or to capture prey, though an Aether Wyvern’s aim is not perfect. As a solution to their imperfect aim, these wyverns will create large winds that often blow away much more than they originally intended to.

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.

Though most of the aether wyverns in Lagie's caves have a positive, upbeat outlook on life, Todays are Not Always the Best is a true exception to the norm. Todays always sees the glass as half empty. He expects the worst from every situation. He's sure others won't like him before they've even met him. He turned up his nose at Be the Worst of Your Tomorrows, spurning her advances before he even knew her name. As a result of his negative outlook, Todays is mostly a loner, but when he thinks no one's looking he can sometimes be found making small twig boats for the hatchlings to play with in puddles after it rains.
