Blusang Lindwyrms are quite different from most dragons in that they lack hind legs. In this regard, they resemble snakes, and this is evident in their movement; these lindwyrms slither along the ground, using their forelegs to lift them over rougher terrain. Blusangs are a coastal breed, preferring to live along rocky beaches and in seaside caves rather than sandy locations. They are omnivores who graze on seaweed from time to time, although their primary form of sustenance is fish.

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.

Actup is a rebel by nature. He simply can't obey any rules for any significant amount of time. The sad thing is that the more he cares about the person (be it dragon or human) who set a rule, the quicker and more decidedly he will break it. His clanmates believe that he was hurt very badly in the past and now pushes and shoves and fights against any developing friendship, expecting it to break sooner or later anyway and doing his best to prove that he's right.
