Skywing Dragons spend most of their lives flying in the air. They hunt from the air, diving at prey from above, and land only to rest. They are some of the fastest fliers, capable of extremely high speeds. The webbing at the end of the tail acts as a rudder, allowing them to easily change direction during flight.

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.

A Leaf on the Wind may very well be the most skilled flier in the Verse, which is probably why her clan reacted so strongly and disowned her when she fell in love with an Earth Dragon. There are legends in her former clan of their great forbidden love. A Leaf tried living with her mate, Watch How I Soar, in his cave, but it nearly drove her mad. Now they keep separate homes, but they meet often for adrenaline-filled airborne trysts.
