Almerald Dragons are an unusual species. They have gem-like protrusions along their spine that brighten and darken depending on their mood. In addition, their body temperature grows warmer during periods of excitement, and cooler during darker moods such as anger or depression; as such, it is fairly easy to read an Almerald’s emotions. Their mood can change quickly at times, going from calm to angry in a matter of seconds. If their anger becomes bad enough they can become a frightening opponent. Adults are not normally high in energy, so they hunt infrequently and prefer to lazily consume large quantities of fruits and nuts.

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.

0GxGo is the leader of a small musical troupe—at least, she is of the opinion that she is band-leader. However, she is also the most observant of her colleagues and realises that all four members believe themself to be in charge. This amuses her greatly, and her crystalline photophores often glow as she sits back and watches the band members all "lead" while making decisions. She is the vocalist, so the audience sometimes assume she leads, too. In reality, she is usually working on choreography rather than paying attention to venue selection and travel and such. She doesn't care what stage they end up on, because she is in charge of what they do once on stage. She enjoys writing steps for O0Gos most because of the light lumina's agility and ability to strike crazy poses, but hates teaching her the routines because she thinks she can choreograph better (she can't). ookkG is the most receptive, but is capable of the least diversity of steps. oKKDx is somewhere in the middle.
