The bright specks that adorn Xol Dragons mesmerize all who behold them. But those who gaze upon these capricious dragons must be cautious, for it can be difficult to resist their charm. The allure is especially strong during sunset, when Xols perform intricate dances, their agile bodies rising and falling within the water as their ornamental fins shimmer softly. Unwary spectators may find themselves in peril if they give in to the silent call of the dragons’ dangerous beauty, for the waters in which the Xols dance scald all those who enter. Thankfully, anyone who is wise enough to recognize their magic is able to resist it while still enjoying the display. Although dangerous in the water, Xols are relatively harmless on land unless provoked. Xol Dragons lay their eggs on land heated by volcanic activity, and the warmth helps develop their common red coloring. However, when eggs stay below a certain temperature for too long, this development is stunted, leading to the existence of blue individuals.

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.

Finger Lake resides near a lake that looks like a finger, and while she's in the water, one would be wise to not stick a finger in the finger lake (or in Finger Lake, for that matter). She spends much of her day lying around. When living things die in the hot water, it's a happy accident; otherwise, she is content rolling on the shore eating worms and plants in reach. A lot of dragons have goals and desires and probably interesting lives, while Finger Lake has none of those. Her philosophy is just to be. She gets mildly upset when anyone disrupts her being, by, for examples, trying to prey on her or urging her to get a hobby. Sometimes, people look at Finger Lake's way of life and wonder about her and wonder about the xol breed in general. Having grown up alone, she definitely couldn't say much about her breed and whether she's a typical specimen. If one asks Finger lake what xols are made of, where xols go when they die, where to fish for xol, etc., she would not be able to answer.
