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.

Flight of Flame was newly hatched when found and adopted. As he grew older, he began to feel trapped by the instinctive barriers of the social hierarchy of generations before. However, Black Gaze began to watch over Flight of Flame; since then, the latter has begun to feel more at-home and relaxed in his cave. He is still extremely quiet and hot-tempered, but he has a soft spot for the uniquely kind Cold Firelight, a female of the same breed.
