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.

There isn't another dragon in his keeper's cave quite like Ivory, and he knows it. His albinism is a talking point with the ladies, a bragging meter with the buddies, and a reason to hang out in the shade with the vampires. He's probably better friends with the vampires than with the other dragons, simply because they have more in common. They exchange witty banter and, although he's a little slow on the uptake, he would never give up his time with the closest things to friends he's ever had.
