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.

Slaed is a blur to the untrained eye; his body is adapted for speed and he daily races the winds across the prairie grass. His long whip-like tail could tame the most ferocious beast, or human. Slaed runs the fastest, flies the straightest, and when the day is done, despite his small physique he is truly glad to be a dragon of his variety. For once one tastes Slaed's kind of fun, there's nothing better; nothing better than the wind on your wings and the blurred world beneath you.
