Frilled Dragons are smaller than most other breeds, but when threatened, they stretch out their wings and frills to appear larger. They generally do not like to fight and prefer hiding to confrontation. Frilled dragons live in small groups and often band together to scare off potential threats. Males also use their frills as a way to attract mates, with those displaying the “best” frills being more likely to breed.

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.

Kelanadine is a Frilled dragon. She has a complex about her size and is always doing her best to make herself seem larger than she really is. From keeping her frills and wings stretched out to wearing "heels" on her feet and trying out various herbs guaranteed to make her grow, she stops at nothing. Unfortunately, nothing really helps, and so, for the most part, she is a rather irritable and bad tempered dragon. At times, when her mind can be distracted from the topic of her height, she has proved to be an affable companion and a surprisingly good philosopher.
