Skystrider Dragons are known for almost never leaving the air as they have no other means of defense if attacked. The main exception to this rule is when they nest in the branches of ancient trees to sleep. This airborne tendency can make raising and keeping Skystrider Dragons an extra challenge. Males have a row of poisonous spines along their backs while females have a venomous bite. Skystrider Dragons mostly prey on birds and flying insects, leading their presence to be welcomed by farmers who often leave out treats hoping to lure a group nearby.

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.

Dry-Fly Dreams likes to fish, but because she doesn't like touching water, her technique involves carrying a fishing rod in her mouth and flying in loops while waiting for a fish below to bite. While waiting, she also sings a happy song that's either about fishing or romance or both. It is a wonder she's caught anything at all. Because Dry-Fly Dreams is much liked for her pest control capabilities, the humans living near the lake don't want to even suggest she change her method or find another hobby. She might become annoyed at their advice and might stop visiting, and if she decides she doesn't like fishing any more, she might have no other reason to come to the lake and might stop visiting.
