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.

Chocolate Nords wishes he could be in a real relationship, but most potential suitors are driven away by Jefh G. Jefh was Nord's boyfriend only very briefly, but since that time he has never accepted that Nord dumped him. He travels constantly across Valkemare, trying to either escape Jefh or find a suitor who can either put up with or drive off his pesky ex. He is even willing to take a female mate, though his preference would be for a male. So far, his only relationships have been brief due to his "Constant con-pest-ion", as he calls Jefh.
