Dorsal Dragons are so named because they have large fins along their backs that can be raised and lowered at will. They use these fins to regulate body temperature; they raise them to cool off when they become overheated. The bright colors on the fins double as a means of attracting mates.

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.

I Can So Fly has a very big problem. All of the dragons in the cave believe that she can't fly, even though she has very large, membranous wings. She does try to tell them, and even shows them that she can get into the air. But all of the other dragons just say that she asked a Magi Dragon for a flight spell or something of the like.

The only dragons who believe her are her own kind and her owner. Most of the other Dorsal Dragons fly as well, though they seem to have learned from I Can So Fly's mistake and don't talk about flying with other dragons.

I Can So Fly has become a very frustrated dragon because of all the arguing. She snaps at other dragons frequently and, even if it has nothing to do with wings or flying, she brings the subject into the conversation and gets angry. This has caused other dragons to avoid her, making her all the more angry that no one wants to fly with her anymore.
