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.

Nox is a bit of a liability to have as a friend, as he had no tolerance for fools and will often attempt to maul dragons in positions of power that refuse to take good advice. He is, however, very loyal to intelligent dragons who know what they're doing, even if those dragons hate him.
