Albino Dragons are so named because their translucent, scale-less skin lacks all pigment. Instead, to help protect their bodies from the sun, they are coated in an oily secretion that blocks the sun’s harmful rays. The call of an albino dragon is similar to a barn owl--a shriek instead of a roar.

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.

When she was younger, Creag na Bruaich was one of the nicest dragons in the group. She was helpful, and always eager to try her best to please the others, no matter what type of task awaited her. Gradually, however, as she slowly began to mature and mingle with the other youngsters, her personality underwent something of a change. Her cheerfulness diminished, to be replaced by scathing looks and a tendency to be rather haughty at times. This behaviour carried on into adulthood, much to the puzzlement of some of the elders.

Now one of the proudest dragons in the group, she believes herself, and her mate, to be above all the rest. She even goes so far as to lord it over the others, claiming that none of them are worthy. This attitude, coupled with the way she treats some of the weaker members of the group, led some of them to steal her egg. Her rage at this act was terrible to behold. Now she roams the territory, searching for her egg, and the countryside rings to her haunting scream.
