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.

Companion is the naivest and most enthusiastic member of his clan, and he's the most prone to lying. He's always forgiven because his lies are made to allow someone else to save face, and they are very obvious lies. He's very emotionally honest: unable to suppress or disguise his feelings, and happy to follow others around and listen to their woes. Because of his cheerful disposition and attempts to be helpful, he's spared the belittling remarks other guys get and is seldom assigned any difficult chores.
