Flamingo Wyverns are so named for their resemblance to the tropical birds with whom they often share territory. Their most striking feature is the bony black crest over their faces and snouts, larger in males, aiding both in digging up food and protection when fighting for mates. Males are duller in color than females due to their habit of wandering from nest to nest and picking from less algae-rich feeding grounds.

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.

Flamenco Flamingoes, and his mate, Dancing Yeah, set up the first Ballroom Dancing Studio for dragons. They firmly believe that dance is an improvement over the traditional means of courtship, namely 'singing' and 'gifts' in the form of gory carcasses. Well known across Galsreim, the one dance school has grown into a successful business. Nowadays, anyone who is anyone sends their hatchlings there to learn the rudiments of dance. Naturally, Flamenco Flamingoes loves teaching flamenco the most, and can sometimes be found practising his steps in front of his rather bemused children.
