Albino Dragons are so named because their translucent, scale-less skin lacks all pigment. Instead, to help protect their bodies from the sun, they are coated in an oily secretion that blocks the sun’s harmful rays. The call of an albino dragon is similar to a barn owl--a shriek instead of a roar.

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.

Mikhail is an incredibly shy dragon, and likes spending time alone in the deepest parts of the caves. He is sometimes teased by other dragons because of this, but Mikhail isn't bothered by their words, as he's perfectly happy with the way he is. If anything other than being around others bothers him, it would be how openly judgemental the other dragons can be towards others.
