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.

This Ridgewing is inexplicably fixated on the relationship between two of his owner's Nebula dragons. Not only does he constantly watch them from afar and swoon with delight over "how cute they are together!", he also composes dramatic, overwrought stories about their fictitious exploits ranging from "devious betrayal by someone they thought was a teammate!", "evil, twisted Witchlight dragoness corrupts and nearly destroys their epic love story!", to "a mishap with an Aeon and now they're separated in time by a century!". The pair have learned to mostly ignore Peakheart, because, while annoying, he's harmless and would never interfere with his 'Oah-tea-pea' (Whatever that means, when questioned no one has gotten a coherent answer from him.).
