Skywing Dragons spend most of their lives flying in the air. They hunt from the air, diving at prey from above, and land only to rest. They are some of the fastest fliers, capable of extremely high speeds. The webbing at the end of the tail acts as a rudder, allowing them to easily change direction during flight.

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.

Wurger is the forward observer for Stuka's hunting group and is proud of her job. Unlike the heavy hitters of the group, who are slow, sluggish and trained only for dive attacks, Wurger is fast and extremely agile, making her suitable for the role of spotting preys, alerting the group of incoming dangers as well as dealing with most of these dangers by herself. Unfortunately, her lungs are suffering from a inherited family disease which lowered their capability, disallowing her from reaching higher attitudes without suffocating. Worrying that the group lacks the ability to deal with threats coming from above, she taught all her techniques to her adopted little sister, Langnasen Dora. The twin happily shares their workload, with Wurger concentrating on spotting preys and dealing with threats from lower attitudes.
