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.

Horse dragon blood is strong in Flamingo Horse, as she constantly feels the need to travel. She finds herself accompanying the wizard whenever she can, and doing all she can to learn about other cultures. She enjoys borrowing her wizard's pygmies so that they can write notes for her. She also is willing to trade pieces of her hoard for scrolls on culture, though any that describe dances go missing as soon as she mentions them to the other flamingo dragons.
