Candelabra Dragons are a spectacular sight against the dark midnight sky. The glowing orbs that decorate their golden wings can be seen from far away and give them the unparalleled brilliance they are recognizable for. Proudly earnest, Candelabra Dragons will often go to extreme lengths to protect those close to them, even giving their lives to rescue a loved one from peril. However, they do not take lightly the breaking of a promise, and have been known to unleash a furious wrath when betrayed.

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.

While many humans from the landmass across the water call Wafl a candelabra dragon (sometimes candelabrum dragon), she is a "buddy dragon" to the denizens the rural town that her cave is situated near. Apparently, their language doesn't have a translation of "candelabrum", not a term but a ten-syllable description of the item. Silly little humans, yet they are such complicated creatures. Wafl would feel sorry for them if some didn't hold the opinion that humans are superior to dragons. Because these little apes didn't evolve with telepathy, they resort to a thing called "language", which cannot perfectly convey ideas, never mind people speaking different languages. Observing two of the townsfolk discuss eating "pie" only for them to babble in confusion about apple pie and pizza only cemented Wafl's idea that humans live miserable lives, full of vagueness. Still, the one thing she does envy is their wordplay—there are no puns in telepathy.
