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.

This dragon almost never sleeps. After he's done his daily hunting-flying-etc and it starts getting dark, he sits in one of the trees beside his adopted caverns. Which might not be so odd, save for the position- he sits straight up, wings spread at his side, with his entire body stiffened and not actually holding onto the branches. Whenever he falls off (which is often and usually backwards) he lies stiffly on the ground in a knocked over sitting position a moment before vibrating, letting out a long "BAAAAAAAAA" and flopping back up into the tree.
