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.

Like most dragons of his breed, Rockydancer loves performing aerial tricks! However he's not content with 'simple' twirls and flips, preferring stunts such as high-speed dives where he pulls up at the last possible moment or skimming dangerously close to the rocky cliffs he calls home. Luckily he's adept enough to do this without injuring himself, though many of the other dragons in his cave strive to keep their young, impressionable hatchlings away from him lest his recklessness catch on with them.
