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.

Kowima may be a fully grown dragon, but she sure doesn't act like one. She can often be seen goofing off from hunting and cleaning responsibilities. She would much rather work on her hoard and play games with hatchlings. One can't blame her, though, because she only has so many hours in a night before the sun rises, rendering her immobile. The other dragons were annoyed by her behavior at first, until they redirected her to jobs that utilize her strengths. Now, she's responsible for looking after and entertaining the hatchlings of the cave, a job that makes her incredibly happy.
