Aria dragons are a brightly-colored and sprightly breed, perhaps most adored for their lyric calls. Their song-like melodies fill the areas they inhabit; their coos resemble those of birds, only more elegant and refined. They have fairly strong magical capabilities, but tend to reserve these strengths for last-minute defense, choosing to live their lives in simple peace. Arias, sticking to the tropics, typically live quite far from human settlements, giving rise to the previously held belief that they had gone extinct.

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.

Lelystra is said to be an evil dragon, but looking at her, you'd think that she couldn't possibly hurt a fly without crying hysterically. This is not the case. Lelystra was arrested for savagely beating up her friend's hatchling when he said pink was an ugly color, and a year later she nearly murdered the very same dragon, since growing up. She was sent to the cave so that Leegola could help her control her anger, having had anger issues herself. Today, Lelystra has learned to control her anger, and peacefully resides in the cave looking for a male to settle down with.
