Frilled Dragons are smaller than most other breeds, but when threatened, they stretch out their wings and frills to appear larger. They generally do not like to fight and prefer hiding to confrontation. Frilled dragons live in small groups and often band together to scare off potential threats. Males also use their frills as a way to attract mates, with those displaying the “best” frills being more likely to breed.

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.

Swirli is a rather fun-loving dragon with a bubbly personality. Though saddened that she will never have any eggs of her breed with Frilled, she doesn't think it worth delving into depression over. She loves to climb trees in search of small animals and delicious fruits. Any hatchlings she cares for tend to be a bit mischievous and are often seen getting into trouble with Swirli. She never argues or picks fights with any of the other dragons. When she is threatened in any way, she will wrap her tail around the other dragon's tail and start to run around in circles till her opponent is too dizzy to bother her.
