Albino Dragons are so named because their translucent, scale-less skin lacks all pigment. Instead, to help protect their bodies from the sun, they are coated in an oily secretion that blocks the sun’s harmful rays. The call of an albino dragon is similar to a barn owl--a shriek instead of a roar.

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.

Addiction to Gwyn refuses to share any explanation for his odd name, nor does he talk about the family that gave it to him. He lives in a small corner of a massive catacombs where the sun never reaches, hunting and defending his territory: a medium-sized cavern beneath a pool of wild life mana. The mana transforms insect larvae and causes many of them to grow to immense sizes, many of which burrow into Addiction's cavern. He hunts these fairly easy to catch grubs; the constant mana exposure has made him resistant to most healing magic, but supernaturally fast at regenerating from wounds without it. He spends much of his time defending his valuable territory from other dragons—good hunting ground is often hard, especially in the lower reaches of the catacombs.
