Pryanost Lindwyrms use their heightened sense of smell to search for their favorite foods, which range from roots to tree bark that share characteristic strong, warm flavors. Though generally elusive, they are often spotted in the winter when the scents of mulled cider and spiced cookies draw them into towns and villages. Kind folks who leave out a bowl of cider and a plate of pretty iced cookies overnight may wake to find the delectable gift gone and soft tufts of fur left in its place. Clothes woven of this fur carry the gentle scent of wintry spices and always keep those who wear them cozy no matter how cold it is. Pryanost Lindwyrms use their fast-shedding fur to line their nests, keeping their eggs safe and warm.

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.

Almost nothing is known about Decorated Gingerbread's breed in the warm region where Millipitas lies, so people are a little fearful of her, with many believing that her scent is a way to draw and trap prey. She can speak, but since she doesn't know the lingua franca of the denizens around here, her vocalizations are indecipherable and happen to sound like elderly humans crying in pain. Her idea of good gifts are hair and packets of ash, and when humans in protective gear go to her to try to scare her away, she gives them an increasing number of gifts with each visit. She's starting to become a little dismayed because her offers are rebuffed, and she can't figure out why.
