Spitfires are a desert breed of dragon. Their dull brown bodies contrast with their brilliant turquoise markings, and they only blaze brighter when these dragons fight. Spitfires are notorious for their territorial natures, and the wing-edges of most are ripped and tattered before their first year is out. Spitfires are also noteworthy for their brilliant blue fire, which is used not for hunting or fighting, but rather for making glass caves from the sand, in which the dragons can soak up the sun.

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.

Lupin's Shadow is, as her name states, Lupin's shadow. She follows Lupin of the Gale everywhere, ready to take on any task for her mentor. Most often, she protects Lupin in battle, wherever her skills are most needed. For a Spit Fyre, Lupin's Shadow is extremely shy, often hiding behind her scarred wings. This is because when she was just a hatchling, she was abandoned. She wandered for weeks, until she was attacked by bandits. She fought them for three days straight until she could no longer stand. (This affected her mentally more then physically.)Then, a hatchling no older than her swooped out of the sky. Lupin of the Gale warded off the bandits, and helped an injured Lupin's Shadow back to safety. Together, they made a vow to always protect the weak and the injured. Since that day, many other dragons have joined Lupin of the Gale, but of them all, Lupin's Shadow is the most loyal.
