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.

Negative Space and Positive Space are always seen together, and they've become something of a 'twin' joke among the other dragons. Negative Space is the calculating half of the pair and is always hatching one plan or another and whispering it into Positive's ear. To the dismay of the others, these plans end up in disaster or embarrassment for some dragon as often as not. However, because of his scaleless hide Negative can't stand up to the onslaught of another dragon in revenge for one of his schemes. He depends on Positive Space to be the muscle—and scales—that he needs.
