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.

Thryst is smaller than most whiptails, and his eyes are blue instead of green. He hates being in enclosed spaces and sleeps outside the cave if he can, preferring to stay out in the open. He enjoys running almost as much as flying, and his light weight means that he is quick and agile on his feet. His aerial acrobatics are quite a show to watch.
