Galewings are a species divided into two major classes; pets and mounts.
The pet class are small, they are easily able to be carried around and are very tame. They are social creatures who do best with at least one other Galewing around, or at least some companion so they aren't alone. They are extremely intelligent, and can be taught to do many different tasks, it is not uncommon for them to be used as service animals. They come in all kinds of colors and patterns, and like many species of birds, the males are typically much brighter in color.
The mount class is a bit more on the feral side, but they can be tamed. They are much larger in size, roughly around the size of a hippopotamus. They are strong animals, often used for riding on, and carrying cargo. They aren't as social as the pet Galewings, but are known to choose very specific people to bond with, typically uninterested in anyone else.
