Feisty and energetic, Whiptail Dragons pride themselves on their speed and agility. It is not unusual to see several whiptails racing each other. Though fragile, they can easily evade attacks with their superior speed, and often use their long tails as a weapon, giving rise to their name.

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.

Tanhirea was the first dragon born of her clutch. Being the oldest of her nestmates she was naturally put in a postion of leadership, and later became the clan leader of her small tribe of Whiptails. Being a feisty Whiptail she has the energy to lead her kind and defend her lands. Although fairly small, the people near her territory admire her actions and bravery that they witness from time to time.
