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.

Xakkoi has always been rather embarrassed by his designated role in the plays put on by the Skylark Players. Pelumbar might claim that Xakkoi's character represents the unpredictable and unseen dangers of life, or words to that effect, but Xakkoi knows it's obvious what he's really meant to be. Scaleless, uncanny, malicious, greedy, outwardly harmless yet incredibly dangerous—Xakkoi is clearly supposed to be the stereotypical evil human. The depiction might have been acceptable in the past, before Dragontown and Goldenfield Village showed that dragons and humans could live in harmony, but now comes off as rather offensive. Xakkoi cringes whenever he sees a human in the audience and can't always resist the urge to apologize after the show. There's no point in trying to get Pelumbar to alter the part, as he's always been very big on tradition and preserving the old ways of life.
