Balloon Dragons are so named because they are filled with a gas that makes them almost lighter than air, similar to balloons. However, they are not prone to bursting, as they are covered in tough skin and can deflate themselves if necessary. In addition, they generally are slow moving. They use their gas bladders to float to the tops of trees, where food is more abundant. They can shift their weight from their backs to their fronts, allowing them to reach leaves and fruit.

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.

Loud, Giggly and Annoying is just that. All throughout the dragon's enclave her loud, rambunctious giggling and gossiping can be heard.

She never stops talking and is entirely oblivious to the other dragons' annoyance. Frequently she talks so rapidly that she forgets to breathe and has to stop to take a huge breath. It is during this pause that most dragons trapped by her nonstop chatting attempt to make a break for it, but are rarely successful.

Unbeknownst to Giggly, a lot of the other dragons just wish she would float away and babble to the clouds instead, so that their poor ears could have a rest.
