Speckle-Throated Dragons are an active, playful breed. They are easily excited and rarely remain still, spending much of their time in the air. Living in groups of up to sixty dragons, they nest in open plains and at the bases of mountains. Their speckled throats are their most distinctive feature, as well as the loud, echoing call they produce to communicate with one another. Male Speckle-Throats have a small crest on top of their heads, which they can flush with blood to intimidate enemies and attract 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.

When you look up at the moon tonight,

Won't you tell me what you see

Is the moon bright white in color,

Or blood red as can be

If you see the moon turn red,

Then do not be afraid.

For it is not a monster, but

A dragon with eyes of jade.

This dragon is an artist

And he simply loves to paint.

So if you see the moon turn red,

Then, dearest, do not faint.

For the dragon artist thought one night

The moon to seem quite pale.

And so, sometimes, he paints it red

With his dainty little tail.
