Albino Dragons are so named because their translucent, scale-less skin lacks all pigment. Instead, to help protect their bodies from the sun, they are coated in an oily secretion that blocks the sun’s harmful rays. The call of an albino dragon is similar to a barn owl--a shriek instead of a roar.

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.

Melani Albus is a very mischievous Albino Dragon. She once heard from a cavern gossip that the Prophet of Twilight is alarmed by the shrieking of owls. When she notices that her human caretaker is deep in thought and has let her guard down, Melani will quietly hide nearby and produce a loud and startling shriek. The Prophet will give a horrified shriek of her own and take off down the tunnels, much to the delight of the cavern's many Misfit Pygmies.
