Scimitar-wing Wyverns are a small breed, eating mainly birds and small vertebrates; as such, they lack the large teeth and heavy claws of their larger cousins. They are far from defenseless, however, and are named for the blade-like growth that forms over the first digit of their wings. The wyverns use these blades to defend themselves from any attacker. Their blades are quite strong and can cut through almost any scale or hide.

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.

As a youth, Gasification thought the local humans lived a little too close to his territory but not so close that he wanted to do anything drastic. Thus, he formed a little group to pull pranks on them. The grandest "amusement" for the gang occurred after a hundred-year lull. Townsfolk were shocked when a bunch of small dragons armed with razor blades (save for their leader who had knife wings) descended upon the largest store in town. They took two dozen blazers—seemingly for no reason—and exited the store while doing surprisingly little property damage. Before the humans could pick up their jaws, Gasification made a signal, and the group disappeared in a smoky blast of magic, leaving only discarded razors. Feeling he's had his fun and not wanting to push his luck, Gasification "retired" after that and now keeps a low profile. The jackets were distributed among members of the group. After the stunning razor blade blazer raid, the humans of that town never saw those dragons again.
