Skywing Dragons spend most of their lives flying in the air. They hunt from the air, diving at prey from above, and land only to rest. They are some of the fastest fliers, capable of extremely high speeds. The webbing at the end of the tail acts as a rudder, allowing them to easily change direction during flight.

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.

While she is capable of telepathy just like any other dragon, A-Flat appears to have trouble with the concept of words. Her attempts at communication come across as sensations, images or, more often, notes and music. When asked what her name is, she responds in a single tone: A-Flat. She is a sensitive and aloof beast, often avoiding contact with others for long stretches of time. One never knows just when she will come gliding down out of the sky.
