Khusa dragons thrive in dry, desolate, and rocky areas. Though they can fly, Khusa enjoy honing their climbing skills on foot. Shortly after they hatch, parents are already teaching their young how to pick their way across cliff faces, escarpments, and thin ridges. The young are well cared for by their parents, but other Khusa in the area also look out for the young—despite not forming close-knit groups, these dragons form loose alliances with their closest neighbors. If a threat is spotted, they will attack from above and drive it to the ground where Khusa have an advantage.

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.

JT, as she is generally known, does roll call for the Guardian of Nature's Call in alpine areas throughout the world. No matter what the weather, how cold, windy, or stormy, she will fly out to the highest peaks to call on those in need and deliver that all-important commodity: toilet roll. She considers her duty as necessary as "necessary business" and takes great pride in serving the Porcelain Throne. The reason JT goes by that name is because most of the individuals she supplies—human and dragon—seem to think her full name is rather crude. Some go so far as to suggest she change her name, but she feels like that would offend the GoNC, so she goes by JT as a compromise.
