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.

Rare Steak is a typical flamingo wyvern, though every so often when bored, she goes to a regiment of flamingos to stand among them. She's even practiced standing on one foot. The braver birds eventually return to the same spot to resume hanging around. Rare Steak has never been able to tell whether or not anybody is fooled by her mimicry, since for some reason humans don't make an appearance when she's with the flamingos.
