Albino Dragons are so named because their translucent, scale-less skin lacks all pigment. Instead, to help protect their bodies from the sun, they are coated in an oily secretion that blocks the sun’s harmful rays. The call of an albino dragon is similar to a barn owl--a shriek instead of a roar.

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.

Soon after Transbur hatched, she was taken by an anti-dragon group. She managed to escape, but in the process her wings were ripped to shreds. Suffering from terrible wounds, she fled deep into the tunnels of the dark green dragons to recover. In time she healed, but the dark, enclosed comfort of her new home kept her safe and happy to remain hidden from the dangerous world above.
