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.

Ambrose was sleepy and the bed looked highly inviting. His Cave Mistress was out for the day, visiting the clan she had raised up in the mountains, so she wouldn't be back for hours. Strictly speaking the house dragons weren't allowed on the bed, not since Mini Cracker's little accident on the sheets, but it was a cold day and the girls were hogging the fire. Besides, Ambrose had a plan.

Sneaking over to the bed he grabbed the pillow and dragged himself underneath, making sure to tuck his tail in behind him. Now hidden from sight he contentedly dropped off to sleep, dreaming of fluffy bunnies and other tasty snacks.

He didn't wake until hours later when someone lay down on the bed and put their head on the pillow above him. Ambrose panicked, but he couldn't move. The Cave Mistress had come home and gone to bed, trapping Ambrose and leaving him very squashed and uncomfortable.
