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, smaller in females, aiding both in digging up food and protection from attack. Females are noticeably brighter than males due to their habit of not straying far from particularly 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.

A fashionista of sorts, Flamingo is the vainest member of the Mingowing family, at least among the Flamingo Wyverns. She frequently tends to her appearance and takes great care to maintain her coat's pristine, bright color. She has quite a temper to her, getting easily annoyed and defensive at the slightest obstacle or objection. Often, she'll snap at others in brief but potent spurs of fury before storming away in a pouty manner. She is extremely stuck-up and looks down on others for their inferior looks. This pompous nature earns her a bad reputation from other dragons, but a surprising amount of respect from her mother. Crepe actually quite admires Flamingo and her sometimes malign nature, seeing herself in her. Flamingo is also very close with her sister, Heron, acting as something like back-up to her. The two of them, though not necessarily dangerous, are advised to be avoided for their powers to roast anyone who speaks ill of them. Not to mention, together, they have great skill.
