Speckle-Throated Dragons are an active, playful breed. They are easily excited and rarely remain still, spending much of their time in the air. Living in groups of up to sixty dragons, they nest in open plains and at the bases of mountains. Their speckled throats are their most distinctive feature, as well as the loud, echoing call they produce to communicate with one another. Male Speckle-Throats have a small crest on top of their heads, which they can flush with blood to intimidate enemies and attract mates.

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.

Abaza's litigious personality leaves him with few friends, as he is willing to sue others on the smallest of details, no matter if they are relations or friends. If a rock falls onto his toe, one could bet anything that Abaza will be filing a formal complaint and demanding compensation from the architect who planned that cave expansion and the miners who dug it out. If some hatchling dares to sneeze near him, then Abaza will be suing the nursery for neglect of their hatchlings and whichever clan the hatchling belongs to. It does not matter to him that he never wins any of his court cases, nor that his only friend seems to be the lawyer, who Abaza sues constantly for losing him cases, and how the frequent appearances in court are a waste of time and money. He claims that it is the principle of letting such injustices go by, and that he is only trying to protect other dragons from the same crimes that had happened to him.
