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.

FireDancer is an unusual Hellfire Wyvern Dragon. She was abandoned as an egg. Because of her lineage, she is larger than most of her species. But FireDancer was hand raised by her owner, and she is as friendly as kitten. So she is just a big softy, most of the time. Like all of her species, she does have a temper and has been known to bite those dragons who deeply upset her. But she has never killed another intelligent being, she just hunts for food. Her favorite food is roast boar, and she roasts it herself.
