Pillow Dragons are covered in enormous amounts of fur affectionately referred to as fluff. Despite their deceivingly large size, they can still fly even with such tiny wings because their bodies are remarkably light. Pillow Dragons have a habit of sleeping for up to eighteen hours a day, waking only in short bursts. During their few waking hours, they take the time to hunt for prey. Once a pillow dragon becomes an adult, its fur grows very slowly. Pillow dragon fur is used to make very expensive and valuable cloth known as “dragon cashmere.”

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.

Chimichanga, despite his name, is not edible. He is not a deep fried burrito. He is a dragon. If only he could convince all the newly hatched dragons of this fact—maybe then he wouldn't turn around to find a hatchling nibbling on his fur and complaining that he doesn't taste as delicious as he sounds. Chimichanga tastes like fur and dragon, not beef and cheese. He has begged and begged to have his name changed, but his human refuses to do so, claiming that his name is 'funny'—she finds it very humorous when a simpleminded hatchling chews on Chimi's tail or munches on his ear. Since there isn't much he can do about the situation, Chimichanga tries to avoid all hatchlings and has decided he definitely doesn't want to have any more children—especially since his daughter, Nytta, bit off an entire chunk of his fur when she was a baby.
