Sir [[Edward Howe]] has noted that the Yellow Reaper breed is unfairly maligned because of its familiarity. However they have some good qualities that recommend them to this much use: they are hardy (while not being picky eaters), unbothered by heat extremes, and almost always good humored. Ordinarily, they weigh between 12 and 15 tons, with extremes as low as ten and as high as seventeen; they have "nicely proportioned" dimensions of 50 feet length and 80 feet wingspan. Other dragons have noted that the Yellow Reapers beat their wings at the same speed as the [[Fleur-de-Nuit]], making them indistinguishable in the dark. | Sir [[Edward Howe]] has noted that the Yellow Reaper breed is unfairly maligned because of its familiarity.

[[Messoria]] and [[Immortalis]], the only two Yellow Reapers in [[Lily]]'s formation, were also the only two formation members who displayed an instinctive and unavoidable tendency to drop when another dragon dived on them from above. This may indicate that this response is more common in Yellow Reapers than in other breeds. | [[Messoria]] and [[Immortalis]], the only two Yellow Reapers in [[Lily]]'s formation, were also the only two formation members who displayed an instinctive and unavoidable tendency to drop when another dragon dived on them from above.
