Pillow Dragons are covered in enormous amounts of fur affectionately referred to as fluff. Despite their deceivingly large size, they can still fly even with such tiny wings because their bodies are remarkably light. Pillow Dragons have a habit of sleeping for up to eighteen hours a day, waking only in short bursts. During their few waking hours, they take the time to hunt for prey. Once a pillow dragon becomes an adult, its fur grows very slowly. Pillow dragon fur is used to make very expensive and valuable cloth known as “dragon cashmere.”

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.

Anhule loves to escape from the Caverns of Malfeas, and sleep with the golden radiance of the sun playing in his fur. The Weaver awakens when the sun has set, and sets about his task.

He plucks long strands of fur from his own body and weaves them across his claws, spinning a web fine as any spider's, if somewhat less neat. These he leaves where he has slept, to be found by wondering hatchlings and picked up by nesting birds. The strands catch sunlight and flash gold, as if he has left his love of an afternoon nap along with the knotted fluff.

Why Anhule engages in this strange behavior, he refuses to tell, even when hauled back to the Caverns. Though he's been lectured many times on his escape-artist habits, and all his easy exits were sealed up long ago, the Weaver still manages to escape to the daylight world and leave his little nets behind.
