Pyralspite dragons are small, swift dragons that can breathe an intensely hot flame. They get their name from their resemblance to and affinity for garnets of the pyralspite family—they hoard such gems, preferring garnets that match their variant, and can tell the type of garnet from how it tastes. The orange variant is called Spessartine. These Pyralspites are more fun-loving and mellow than others, and are optimistic as a whole. Their preferred habitat is coastal areas.

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.

A quirky beast if ever there was one, this dragon insists that her beloved garnets taste like orange--which means oranges, of course, taste like garnet. The bizarre logic behind this reasoning has been proven invalid many times over, but Meeap is a beast of faith and knows to shun the non-believers (and to never reveal the location of Candy Mountain to them). When not busy going on about things no one understands, she can often be found happily chatting to ducks, despite them frankly not giving a quack about the conversation.
