Rift Wyrms are dragons adapted to both the frigid depths of the sea and the void that exists in the space between spaces. They have the ability to rip holes in the fabric of space that lead into and out of the void, and can manipulate the size and location of these rifts with additional effort. Their bodies give off an unsettling chill, while their mouths tend to glow from the mana they’ve consumed. Between their appearance and their method of travel, Rift Wyrms have a reputation as eldritch creatures that do not belong in this world. They tend to have a mischievous streak facilitated by their abilities. This ranges by individual from harmless japery to active malevolence, and many people and dragons are wary of them. Despite their reputation as tricksters, these wyrms are curious and may choose to help others on a whim just as often as they decide to harm.

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.

Yet Another Alien has little understanding of 'space' as the physical world knows it and has long since given up trying to learn. The five-dimentional matrix of space, time, void, and the soul-ar plane (more commonly associated with shadow walkers and their lesser counterparts the celestials) is traversable enough for her without knowing everything about all the parts.

Along with her good friend Koji Guy, Alien co-owns the Nworset Spaceport. She pokes and maintains the portals in space which give the place its name and he handles keeping track of which one leads to where. The building is so full of holes in spacetime that Volcanine once famously described it as "like being inside of a cheese dragon."
