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.

AI has learned very early on in his life that females were the dominant gender, from his legendary great-grandmother Penk, who was revered by every dragon, over his father and grandfather, who readily succumbed to the will of strong and dominant Wyvern ladies, to his clan, founded by a Black dragoness.

AI was actually very confused when he met Seragammas and Sunstones for the first time and positively bewildered when he learned that many humans referred to females as the "weaker sex". He is actually grateful that in his clan a dragon is judged for his or her character instead of their gender, but he still thinks that humans are WEIRD.
