Nhiostrife Wyverns are one of the few known breeds of wyvern with more than one set of wings. Because of their four wings, Nhiostrifes are very nimble in the air and control their movements with ease. When it’s mating season, males put on a very beautiful and unique air dance in an attempt to charm a female. The amount of stripes on their wings vary, with more stripes being more attractive, although most have only two to four. Their general attitude is very passive and curious—they only fight if they or their families are in danger.

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.

Nhio Bet is a bookie, and a very successful one at that. Where there are sports or events upon which people and dragons can bet, Nhio Bet is there with the odds and the funds to back up those odds. When stickwaterball became a sport to be followed, Nhio Bet was right there at the start, learning all the players and the teams, calculating the odds, laying the bets. Like most of Lagie's nhios, Nhio Bet has a soft spot for mint dragons, so he watches with particular interest the mint team from Peachycupcake's caves, but he tries not to let that affect his opinions. He knows his customers well, and he always knows that Jessa will be in to bet on the Pipefish wherever and whenever they're playing. "It's a sure bet," he says, about everything it seems, so he's often referred to as Sure Bet instead of Nhio Bet, but he doesn't mind that in the least, so long as he's the one laying the odds.
