Nebula Dragons are nocturnal creatures. With the best eyesight to be found, they are often seen staring into space. Each dragon tends to observe a particular nebula and will eventually change their colors and patterns to match it. As the nebula changes over time, the dragon changes with it. The more intricate the design of the nebula, the better chance an individual has of attracting a mate. It is said that the markings on no two Nebula Dragons will be exactly the same.

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.

Nyota is a very old dragon. Nobody knows who his parents are or why they did not sit on the egg. Nyota spends his time staring at the stars, wondering why his egg was laid and where his parents are. Nyota loves flying as high as he can and then diving back down to land on his nest made of moss and grass. Nyota has one of the prettiest nests ever built, and that attracted Tuldok, they had one egg but it was stolen.
