Balloon Dragons are so named because they are filled with a gas that makes them almost lighter than air, similar to balloons. However, they are not prone to bursting, as they are covered in tough skin and can deflate themselves if necessary. In addition, they generally are slow moving. They use their gas bladders to float to the tops of trees, where food is more abundant. They can shift their weight from their backs to their fronts, allowing them to reach leaves and fruit.

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.

Puff Balloon Blossom has caused her family plenty of trouble ever since she was a hatchling. Because of her gravity defying abilities, she was constantly bobbing around the cave ceiling, making the cave mistress go running around after her with a net. She was forbidden to go outside in case she accidentally floated out of the atmosphere and got lost in space.

Now she is fully grown and still causing mayhem. She silently appears outside the many castles and mansions across the country, giving the inhabitants the shock of their lives as she pokes her head through the windows.
