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.

HotHellfire is a Hellfire Wyvern who loves the heat. His mother is a Magma Dragon, and he grew up around the lava fields. He also has a sweet tooth for fruit, and will even trade gold from his hoard with human farmers to get a big wagon load of fruit a few times a year. HotHellfire just gobbles up all his fruit right away, so it doesn't have any chance to spoil. The only fruit he can store on hand is apples, because they will keep for much long than more delicate grapes or peaches.
