Swallowtail Dragons are graceful and quick flyers, much like their namesake bird. They are capable of precise aerial acrobatics, and can reach very high altitudes. Because of this, humans observing these dragons are often astonished at how large they are when confronted up close. A Swallowtail’s diet consists of insects and small mammals plentiful in temperate forests. These dragons are also made remarkable by their paper-thin wing membranes, which allow light to pass through, creating an astonishing effect on starry nights.

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.

Jilly is easily excitable. She will jump at any new and wonderful idea, object or craze.  One of the black hatchies, she was never sure which one, gave her a shiny rock once, and it started her 3 month obsession with shiny rocks. She would haul anyone she could into her cave to show off her collection, ignoring her discarded collections of gold dragon scales, pillow dragon fluff and dried flowers now stuck in a corner. When it got to the point when she was actually fighting the little black hatchie for the best rocks, Agent distracted her by showing her something special, a dragon eyelash, which are extremely rare. Her rock collection discarded with her previous ones, she can now be seen searching the floor of the draqon's bathing room hunting for fallen eyelashes. So far she only has three but she is confident she will soon have the best dragon eyelash collection in her cave.
