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.

Vibratae is the main mount of his master. He very much enjoys giving his master rides, though tends to stay up in the air while his master conducts business on the ground. A very curious dragon, Vibratae often disappears for days at a time as he explores the world around him. His vibrant coloring is his namesake, and he has two distinctive green spots where his wings meet his back. When frightened, Vibratae will screech (the sound not unlike a frightened rabbit) and kick up a whirlwind with his wings. This happens more often than it should, for even though he is curious, he is also easily startled and very cowardly.
