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.

Turquesia is the 'Lone Wolf' of her pack. Instead of using the main cave she uses the cave that she made herself in a patch of sand somewhat close to it. Most of the younger hatchlings follow her, as they find her turquoise markings interesting. She refuses to attack the hatchlings, but she will bring them back to the others.

Another odd quirk about this dragon is the hatchlings that are persistent and keep coming back to her will often get to watch her create glass for her ever-expanding cave. Her cave she treats like a back up, just in case the main cave where the other's live is attacked. For this reason she is making the glass almost unbreakable. Elecktrala finds this odd, but will occasionally try to help her friend.
