Skywing Dragons spend most of their lives flying in the air. They hunt from the air, diving at prey from above, and land only to rest. They are some of the fastest fliers, capable of extremely high speeds. The webbing at the end of the tail acts as a rudder, allowing them to easily change direction during flight.

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.

Vapid, a Skywing dragon, soared through the skies like other of her ilk but always looked down upon the surface world with longing. So much that she distanced her self from other Skywings and lives, though she is far from old, a solitary life of yearning. Vapid is oft regarded as curious by others because she'd disappear for large amounts of time. None knew, except for Da Mien her clutch mate, that she'd secret off to mingling and try to befriend human children when they were hatchlings. Mahaps when she disappears she is still trying to do the same.
