Swallowtail Dragons are graceful and quick flyers, much like their namesake bird. They are capable of precise aerial acrobatics, and can reach very high altitudes. Because of this, humans observing these dragons are often astonished at how large they are when confronted up close. A Swallowtail’s diet consists of insects and small mammals plentiful in temperate forests. These dragons are also made remarkable by their paper-thin wing membranes, which allow light to pass through, creating an astonishing effect on starry nights.

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.

Fuchs is a rather clever young dragoness with little to no frustration tolerance. She loves to poke bigger, more dangerous dragons, because she prefers a hectic flight to boredom any day, and she loves to play cat-and-mouse games on either sight of the hunt. If she's confronted with a problem she can't solve immediately, she gets bored and frustrated quite quickly and she has been known to leave little packets of deer poo at the entrance to the lair of dragons who frustrated her.
