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.

Eclipse's large size and piercing red eyes make her a dragon many of the hatchies and even some of the adults fear.  Eclipse doesn't really mean to scare people, she just has a known temper. She towers over several dragons in the cave, including her mate, Niveus. She is of the first generation for the lineage, Lucidus. This gives her a high ranking in the pecking order of the cave. She likes to consider herself a female with high standards and always keeps Niveus on his toes for her next act. She doesn't really try to work Niveus to the floor, but he has yet to complain so she isn't even aware. She is glad to be one of the few females of the cave with a set mate for life. She couldn't stand not having a mate she could rely on.
