Pyralspite dragons are small, swift dragons that can breathe an intensely hot flame. They get their name from their resemblance to and affinity for garnets of the pyralspite family—they hoard such gems, preferring garnets that match their variant, and can tell the type of garnet from how it tastes. The red-violet variant is referred to as Almandine. Almandine Pyralspites are more aggressive than others of the same breed, and are very witty and love to mock or insult their opponents. They inhabit mountainous areas.

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.

Kimi Sparkle, "the world's ONLY female reviewer", is a loudmouth who constantly rattles off her opinions of other dragons. She can look over the most obviously egotistical Lumina and announce that "The imperfections on the scales are, like, really representative of her dissatisfaction with life. I think the way your parents handled your upbringing really shows in a respectable and serious view on addiction in adult dragons, something very difficult to teach to hatchlings." She will then spend a good eleven hours thinking and add, "For my next request, I would like to see a chapter in which the Lumina goes away forever and is killed by a falling boulder. Perhaps it could take inspiration from the well-known scroll of 'Fallout: Valkemare'. It would be a lot to fit into one personality, but this Lumina is very deep already so I think you could pull it off okay. I also would like to see the Lumina develop multiple personalities and have the personalities joining an athletic team together."
