Spitfires are a desert breed of dragon. Their dull brown bodies contrast with their brilliant turquoise markings, and they only blaze brighter when these dragons fight. Spitfires are notorious for their territorial natures, and the wing-edges of most are ripped and tattered before their first year is out. Spitfires are also noteworthy for their brilliant blue fire, which is used not for hunting or fighting, but rather for making glass caves from the sand, in which the dragons can soak up the sun.

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.

Spiros Swift-Fire is a swift-footed male Spitfire Dragon. He is very fast on both foot and in the air and is able to leap from rock to rock, or even tree to tree. This fierce predator treats his fellow residents of his Cave like a family. He guards them with his life and feels a deep sense of loyalty to them. This has earned him a lot of respect from his fellow dragons, and they enjoy his company. He is nicknamed the Swift-Footed Flame.
