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.

Ejilsis loves tinkering. Anything she can get her claws on, she dismantles and re-mantles as she pleases. Human villages are particularly rich raiding grounds, and many a time a human has left a wagon or a rope outside only to find it missing the next morning. Her absolute favorite pastime is helping Cannoncog with his machine-building and piece-finding, and she's moved into his cave in order to be nearer him and his whirring devices.
