Pyropellis Wyverns are most commonly encountered swooping through the trenches and craters that dot their volcanic abodes, bathed in stifling heat. While their tough, mottled hides blend in seamlessly with the volcanic rock that surrounds them, Pyropellis Wyverns stand out due to the fervent flames that cloak their backs. Unable to produce a flame, these dragons secrete a highly flammable substance from their backs, which they will find some way to set alight. This fire primarily serves to intimidate and daze unfriendly strangers, keeping snapping maws away from the necks and back of the dragon. The flames also serve as a way to bond: young hatchlings are often first set aflame by their parents. Fire-breathing dragons may supply their mates with flames. It is not uncommon to find a Pyropellis sporting flames unique to other species of dragons, having made contact with those flames.

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.

Ignition is often on edge and panicked. She has a high level of anxiety that makes it so she is almost never comfortable no matter where she is. Ignition isn't typically violent. Usually, when she feels threatened, which is a lot, she'll roar loudly, flashing her wings and flames to drive the perpetrator away before bolting herself. This anxious behavior also causes her to act rude and defensive. Even in a tame environment, she'll often take cynical jabs at others for no other reason than she's stressed and needs some way to fight back. However, when she does become close with someone, as long and difficult a road that is, she is endlessly loyal to them. She isn't necessarily affectionate, but she is loyal. This kind of arrangement is just fine for her equally shy, brooding mate, Fintan. These two are a close couple, but one would not be able to tell at a glance. They're both quiet and tend to stick to themselves, but it's that respect for boundaries that keeps them so close.
