Skywing Dragons spend most of their lives flying in the air. They hunt from the air, diving at prey from above, and land only to rest. They are some of the fastest fliers, capable of extremely high speeds. The webbing at the end of the tail acts as a rudder, allowing them to easily change direction during flight.

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.

Another racing dragon, like Skieren, Katiana is more on the skittish side, trusting only the stable master, and her stable boy to an extent.  Workers avoid startling this dragoness because she has put several new and inexperienced people into the local hospital when they got too close to her in her spooked state.  Once startled, it is extremely difficult for her to settle unless Niarrajii plays his relaxing flute.  The only time she is unfazed by anything is during a race; when she is in that state of mind, it is impossible to scare her and force her to drop out of the race.
