Ridgewing Dragons live just below the snow level on the upper slopes of mountains. They are a friendly, playful breed and enjoy dancing in wind currents near their homes or plummeting down into valleys from great heights. Their wings, by far their most striking feature, grow in fin-like ridges along their backs. While their bodies lack markings to blend better with their surroundings, a ridgewing’s wings have bright markings in the colors of the flowers that grow in their mountain habitat. Occasionally different-colored individuals can be found, but they are rare because their striking coloring offers little protection.

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.

2zWz2 spends as much time as possible flying around in the sky, only coming down when he chances across a fly. He is deathly afraid of bugs, so when insects invade his airspace he dives down to his mate, xDPDx, who happily eats them for him. Practically the only time he uses his legs is when he is running around looking for her. Given the sheer number of bugs that invade his airspace, he spends an impressive amount of time grounded. He is constantly impressed by the bravery xDPDx shows chasing down bugs and thinks she is the coolest dragon he's ever seen when she hunts them down.
