Ridgewing Dragons live just below the snow level on the upper slopes of mountains. They are a friendly, playful breed and enjoy dancing in wind currents near their homes or plummeting down into valleys from great heights. Their wings, by far their most striking feature, grow in fin-like ridges along their backs. While their bodies lack markings to blend better with their surroundings, a ridgewing’s wings have bright markings in the colors of the flowers that grow in their mountain habitat. Occasionally different-colored individuals can be found, but they are rare because their striking coloring offers little protection.

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.

Rekfra is a very shy ridgewing, and when attacked she is likely to flee. She can navigate the tumbling mountains of the Coorinna Territory like a mountain goat, galloping vertically up and down the high slopes. One knows when Rekfra is startled, as the sound of her long, hooflike claws hitting the rocks as she runs echoes like a canon-shot. She is unlikely to take wing, as her speed on the ground is faster than most predators.

When not threatened, Rekfra is most often seen basking with her mate Ropen.
