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.

Growing up among the enchanted talking birds of Ravenloft, for years Missy thought she was a (rather large) bird. When she got older and realized she was different, she was initially disappointed but has since accepted the truth. She is now quite happy being a dragon. That doesn't stop her from displaying some birdlike behavior, such as sleeping with her head under her wing in the magnificent nest she has built for herself high on the ramparts of the Ravenloft ruins.
