Dorsal Dragons are so named because they have large fins along their backs that can be raised and lowered at will. They use these fins to regulate body temperature; they raise them to cool off when they become overheated. The bright colors on the fins double as a means of attracting mates.

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.

"You don't want me. Please. Just go away, for your sake," this excruciatingly handsome dorsal can often be heard telling the females who often ask him to be their mate. Though they often ask why, he never tells them, watching them fly away in hurt. But the truth is, they don't want to know, since it is so evil, twisted, and bizarre that it would scar them forever just to hear of it. For the truth is, this dorsal, at a young age, was captured and used in dark magic experiments by a secret society hoping to bring demons into this world. They succeeded in making his body the home of a demon, but he realized what they had done and escaped with the help of the demon inside him, whom he has persuaded to be his "friend". Afterwards, when he made it to Beacker1160's clan (who has had experience with demon-dragons like him), he begged to be exorcised, and they obliged. But even to this day, as a reminder of the demon, each full moon his shadow is a demonic color—bloody red.
