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.

A highly aggressive male, this dragon is known for patrolling the edges of his territory for days on end, chasing after and doing battle with any creature foolish enough to violate his borders. While such behavior is hardly unusual among his breed, what is unusual is his style of combat; using his fiery breath to rapidly make spheres of glass from the sand, he'll smash these orbs into the faces and bellies of his opponents, shattering them on impact and leaving ugly wounds that can take a long time to heal.
