Hellfire Wyverns are so named for their foul tempers and fiery visages. Their social structure places all females above all males, due to superior physical characteristics and violent dispositions. Forced subservience of the males causes them to become vicious, petty, antisocial, and passive-aggressive compared to the aggressive and social females. However, orphaned hatchlings raised by foster parents of another species can develop surprisingly even tempers and mellow dispositions, proving that their defining unpleasant nature is, in fact, a learned behavior.

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.

This gruff dragon is not one to be messed with. As a young fledgling he witnessed his mother kill a human who was in the middle of drinking some ale. Curious to see what it tasted like, he pried the cup from the man's cold, dead, hand and sipped from it. He was immediately hooked. He loved the taste.

As he got older he became known to go into drunken rages where he would raze towns and steal from other dragon's hoards. He would wake up the next morning in his cave, not knowing why his hoard was suddenly a bit larger. Soon the other dragons took notice and forced him to stop drinking.

Since he is suffering from withdrawal, he has become even more furious and the littlest thing will tick him off and will drive him over the edge. The other dragons around him don't know what to do, for although they could barely make him stay sober, they knew they weren't powerful enough to kill or capture him. They hope that the Council of Dragons will step in and help them deal with him.
