Ridgewing Dragons live just below the snow level on the upper slopes of mountains. They are a friendly, playful breed and enjoy dancing in wind currents near their homes or plummeting down into valleys from great heights. Their wings, by far their most striking feature, grow in fin-like ridges along their backs. While their bodies lack markings to blend better with their surroundings, a ridgewing’s wings have bright markings in the colors of the flowers that grow in their mountain habitat. Occasionally different-colored individuals can be found, but they are rare because their striking coloring offers little protection.

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.

"Her blue wings are so bright!" some dragons exclaim as they see her. They believe she is an angel dragon. Lotus tells them she isn't an angel and denies even trying to be one. Most don't believe her. She does like to play the role of a guardian often using her beautiful wings as a signal. She stays hidden most of the time trying to blend in with patches of flowers. Oftentimes it doesn't work but she has other methods of protection. She has a streak of asking guardian dragons to help her out as her fellow protectors. She rewards them for their services by giving them a cave to sleep in and food to eat. Most dragons tell her stories and call her a hero. They even say she deserves to be one of the great dragons that are pure and good, but once again Lotus denies it.
