Pillow Dragons are covered in enormous amounts of fur affectionately referred to as fluff. Despite their deceivingly large size, they can still fly even with such tiny wings because their bodies are remarkably light. Pillow Dragons have a habit of sleeping for up to eighteen hours a day, waking only in short bursts. During their few waking hours, they take the time to hunt for prey. Once a pillow dragon becomes an adult, its fur grows very slowly. Pillow dragon fur is used to make very expensive and valuable cloth known as “dragon cashmere.”

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.

Manfred is easily one of the friendliest dragons in Watari's cave. As one might guess from his appearance, he is as huge a softie inside as he is out. He loves nothing more than a nice snuggle, like any normal Pillow dragon. After a long day of exploring and flying around with Malador, Watari often simply curls up with Manfred and his mate, Momo and goes to sleep. He is an excellent babysitter dragon, as is Momo, and the two often have several hatchlings of varying species climbing all over them. Unlike most other Manfreds, he prefers to go by his whole name instead of 'Manny'.
