Daydream Dragons are the hosts of daydreams and fantasies. They spend the majority of their time sitting on clouds, dropping daydreams down into the minds of people passing by. Humans who live near Daydream Dragons must be especially careful not to let their thoughts wander, or they could end up spending hours or even days in a trance-like waking dream state.

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.

For Indivar, daydreams are not only his art but the means to a meal. He will watch herdsmen and hunters, waiting for the best moment to attack with a daydream. While the human is distracted, Indivar helps himself to his intended prey. He is kind enough to only take what he needs, a single animal from a flock or part of a hunter's kill. It isn't that he cannot make his own kills, but Indivar prefers to take the safer course and avoid injury.
