Yellow-Crowned Dragons are found in the hottest, driest regions of the desert. Although they thrive in these conditions, they do very poorly in cold or humid climates. These dragons are very fast fliers and skilled hunters, and usually feed on small, quick desert antelope. Yellow-Crowned Dragons are diurnal, and spend the night in underground burrows they dig or steal from other creatures. They are often seen out sunning themselves in the early morning sun, waiting for the heat of the day to set in.

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.

I kinda wish insists he is named Summer Shine. When the books gal comes along every season to record all the new names in Curtistown, the dragons can either dictate their information to her or write it down themselves in one of twelve common languages. Summer Shine was too stubborn and embarrassed to admit he's illiterate, so while writing, he copied some nice-looking words from sheet music, character-for-character, then hoped nobody would read it. Now whenever someone calls him "I kinda wish", he would insist the books gal or somebody jinxed his writing to appear as nonsensical, uncapitalised text. Nobody believes him.
