Daydream Dragons are the hosts of daydreams and fantasies. They spend the majority of their time sitting on clouds, dropping daydreams down into the minds of people passing by. Humans who live near Daydream Dragons must be especially careful not to let their thoughts wander, or they could end up spending hours or even days in a trance-like waking dream state.

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.

Ethan is often tormented about the fact he looks like a girl, but he soon stops the bullies by showing them what for. But because Ethan tends not to fight, he send them snoozing and floats away, leaving the dragons and Ethan unharmed. Ethan is quite a compassionate dragon, but he only has a few friends that know this, as his looks result in immediate prejudice.
