Frilled Dragons are smaller than most other breeds, but when threatened, they stretch out their wings and frills to appear larger. They generally do not like to fight and prefer hiding to confrontation. Frilled dragons live in small groups and often band together to scare off potential threats. Males also use their frills as a way to attract mates, with those displaying the “best” frills being more likely to breed.

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.

Jadillian, or Jade, as she is called, is a Frilled dragon that has lived among the JavaTiger Clan nearly since its inception. Her great age compared with many of the clans' inhabitants, gives her a position of honor and respect among the dragons of the clan,even though as far as her family lineage goes she is nothing particularly special. She is considered to be a solid rock of good sense among the clan, and her experience means that she is frequently sought out for advice by other dragons, even members of the Court itself... and when she speaks, the other dragons know to listen. Her sensible advice has seen the clan through many trials and dangers, likely will see them through yet more. For many years she was the only member of her kind to call the clan her home... and, even now, when other Frilled dragons live among the clan, she is still counted as the leader of the Frills, and as an important elder of the clan. For many of the hatchlings, of course, she is a grandmotherly figure.
