Spitfires are a desert breed of dragon. Their dull brown bodies contrast with their brilliant turquoise markings, and they only blaze brighter when these dragons fight. Spitfires are notorious for their territorial natures, and the wing-edges of most are ripped and tattered before their first year is out. Spitfires are also noteworthy for their brilliant blue fire, which is used not for hunting or fighting, but rather for making glass caves from the sand, in which the dragons can soak up the sun.

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.

The Queen's right-hand dragon, her title of matron belies her true position. She serves as a handmaiden, adviser, and spy for Her Majesty. She gleans knowledge from commoners, blending in with them and coaxing secret thoughts out through seduction and other less-than-savory methods. Though many are fooled by her masquerade and view her as just another servant of the Royal Family, others know better than to let their tongues slip while within earshot. Her more domestic duties revolve around tending for the children of the King and Queen, a task she takes seriously as she knows that they are the future of the kingdom. Bound to the Royal Family through ties of hidden honor, her title of the Crystal Castle's Matron is a misnomer that barely skims the depths of her being.
