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.

Once upon a time, a jolly chap approached this dragon's tender and informed her that she was in most dire need of psychiatric help. The dragon tender thought on this new information, and upon deep reflection, decided the lovely chap was in fact, quite correct.

She then added Psychiatric Help to her scroll, with a feeling of accomplishment on having obtained this mystical and direly needed psychiatric help.
