Daydream Dragons are the hosts of daydreams and fantasies. They spend the majority of their time sitting on clouds, dropping daydreams down into the minds of people passing by. Humans who live near Daydream Dragons must be especially careful not to let their thoughts wander, or they could end up spending hours or even days in a trance-like waking dream state.

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.

Zirconyia FirstClutch (after the gemstone: Zircon) is the second eldest dragon within the clan, now spending most of her time among the clouds that hover above the clan cave. She is the most joyous and playful of all the clan dragons, and often surprises everyone with her sweet little pranks of fun, always in good humor and never hurtful, although usually annoying to one degree or another. As a hatchling, her favorite game was to swoop down right behind her clan sister, Amethystosia, trying to distract her in mid-take off as she learned the art of dragon flight. Even now, The Clan Mother can occasionally be seen standing outside the clan cave entrance gesturing toward the heavens, pointing a wiggling finger in the air, calling Zirconyia's name and shaking her head patiently.
