Nocturne Dragons are a strange breed. Whenever light strikes their bodies, they are frozen in whatever position they were in. This leaves them vulnerable and they rely on camouflage to keep themselves safe. They are often mistaken for statues when in this frozen state, but Nocturne dragons do not actually turn into stone. Rather, they merely idle until the sun goes down. At night, these dragons come to life, proving themselves to be powerful fliers, although little else is known about their true behavior.

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.

Greta is the only dragon in the region who can stay awake through the night; indeed, she can only be active at night, so she really has no choice in the matter of waking hours. What she also has no choice in is her assigned job, night patrol. The other nocturnal dragon who used to patrol with her died under mysterious, fiery circumstances, so she's all alone. Greta is perfectly fine with that, though, and despite having faced a few scary scenarios, she isn't fazed by the few hours of solitude on her route.
