Pillow Dragons are covered in enormous amounts of fur affectionately referred to as fluff. Despite their deceivingly large size, they can still fly even with such tiny wings because their bodies are remarkably light. Pillow Dragons have a habit of sleeping for up to eighteen hours a day, waking only in short bursts. During their few waking hours, they take the time to hunt for prey. Once a pillow dragon becomes an adult, its fur grows very slowly. Pillow dragon fur is used to make very expensive and valuable cloth known as “dragon cashmere.”

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.

The ever calm, jolly and otherwise lazy Bleating-Pillow loves taking care of hatchlings when he is awake. Even during his long naps, the little ones prefer to stay with him as they often fall asleep huddled together in their babysitter's fluff. Sometimes when a heavier hatchling tries to nest on top of the dormant dragon's light frame, Bleating-Pillow shivers in his sleep and lets out a strange groan, similar to a goat's cry. This of course triggers a wave of laughter among the juveniles and may teach the culprit that he is growing up much faster than he thought.
