Dorsal Dragons are so named because they have large fins along their backs that can be raised and lowered at will. They use these fins to regulate body temperature; they raise them to cool off when they become overheated. The bright colors on the fins double as a means of attracting mates.

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.

Dumito the dragon has spent many days in the deep swamp-like grasslands. He had enjoyed traveling through the wetlands as a hatchling and still wanders today. He eats many fruits because his beak was fit for fruit eating. Though his wandering he had many chances to mate, and never really feels lonesome. Though a little company now and then wouldn't hurt.
