Swallowtail Dragons are graceful and quick flyers, much like their namesake bird. They are capable of precise aerial acrobatics, and can reach very high altitudes. Because of this, humans observing these dragons are often astonished at how large they are when confronted up close. A Swallowtail’s diet consists of insects and small mammals plentiful in temperate forests. These dragons are also made remarkable by their paper-thin wing membranes, which allow light to pass through, creating an astonishing effect on starry nights.

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.

SwiftSwallowtailSun is a Swallowtailed Dragon who loves the day time. He can think of nothing better than being up above the clouds and feeling the warm Sun on his back, in addition to the cool winds. He actually doesn't notice if it gets cold, unless he's freezing to death. All SwiftSwallowtailSun cares about is being up as high, as close to the Sun, as he can be. He almost worships the Sun, and he hates when stormy days keep him out of the sky.
