Balloon Dragons are so named because they are filled with a gas that makes them almost lighter than air, similar to balloons. However, they are not prone to bursting, as they are covered in tough skin and can deflate themselves if necessary. In addition, they generally are slow moving. They use their gas bladders to float to the tops of trees, where food is more abundant. They can shift their weight from their backs to their fronts, allowing them to reach leaves and fruit.

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.

Somewhat Larger then its siblings, this dragon matured much faster then normal. Doing so easily allowed it to become a dominant bull of its kind. Its is happy eating fruits and other leafy materials. It has also grown a taste for minerals. Due to it being larger then most it can generate more gas then others allowing it to still float with the added weight of the rocks and minerals. Eating such minerals would normally weigh down other dragons.
