Zyphyl is a dragon residing within the city of Deratu. She cannot speak with words, and instead telepathically projects emotions into the minds of those in her presence. Usually this is used to communicate with her priests, who bring her spices and incense, both of which she devours and brings to the Sun every night to rekindle its flame. However, her abilities can be used to defend herself, as she can force painful/overwhelming emotion into even the most stoic of mind, crippling them and leaving them vulnerable.

The temple she resides in has a constant haze of incense smoke and steam, complete with high ceilings with rafters she can be seen coiled amongst.
