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.

ButterflyFins is a Ridgewing Dragon who loves to swim. She spends as much time as she can in the water during the day. But she is scared of the water at night, it is too dark and she thinks it will suck her down to the bottom of the ocean and she will drowned and have her bones picked clean by fish. ButterflyFins has a very specific fear, and she mentally tells everyone about it all the time. Dragons of the clinic of her cave think that ButterflyFins might have a mental illness, but they don't feel right confronting her about it.
