Albino Dragons are so named because their translucent, scale-less skin lacks all pigment. Instead, to help protect their bodies from the sun, they are coated in an oily secretion that blocks the sun’s harmful rays. The call of an albino dragon is similar to a barn owl--a shriek instead of a roar.

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.

Pale Wing's egg was the first one Crystal stole from the cave, though he was the second to hatch out of her first clutch. The new dragonkeeper spotted the luminous egg nestled among the other duller and more common eggs in the large pile of abandoned eggs, and quickly swiped it. At a young age, he was very shy and quiet. But soon he started romping around with the rest of his clutch, and his confidence grew. Being his owner's favourite, he knows he has authority over the rest of Crystal's flock—however he is kind and fair to all, never misusing his power, and he is very loyal to his owner. He loves flying around the mountain peaks on his unusually large, nearly transparent wings; usually with his owner perched on his back. He also enjoys going for short swims, as long as the water isn't too deep; he has many water-dwelling dragons in his mother's family.
