Swallowtail Dragons are graceful and quick flyers, much like their namesake bird. They are capable of precise aerial acrobatics, and can reach very high altitudes. Because of this, humans observing these dragons are often astonished at how large they are when confronted up close. A Swallowtail’s diet consists of insects and small mammals plentiful in temperate forests. These dragons are also made remarkable by their paper-thin wing membranes, which allow light to pass through, creating an astonishing effect on starry nights.

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.

StoneySwallowtail is a very protective dragon. He is probably even more protective than his father because for some reason he believes that he has to protect every single dragon in the cave. This causes him to survey the territory from the sky, he has to hide frequently from FloatingStorm and this makes his trips very long and most of the day is spent on these flights. The others don't really connect with him because all of his time is spent away from them but they still appreciate him. He would give his own life for them in a heartbeat and is one of the most kind dragons in the cave.
