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.

Gayl is a very graceful and adept flier, and would be renowned for his skill were it not for his crippling fear of heights.  As it is, though, all of his acrobatic feats must take place no more than a few feet off the ground, which adds a little extra excitement to his performances, as spectators are always waiting for him to crash into a tree or misjudge how close he is to the ground.
