Spitfires are a desert breed of dragon. Their dull brown bodies contrast with their brilliant turquoise markings, and they only blaze brighter when these dragons fight. Spitfires are notorious for their territorial natures, and the wing-edges of most are ripped and tattered before their first year is out. Spitfires are also noteworthy for their brilliant blue fire, which is used not for hunting or fighting, but rather for making glass caves from the sand, in which the dragons can soak up the sun.

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.

SkyStreak used to live with a group of rattlesnakes before maturing.  She ties hollowed nuts around her tail tip, so it will rattle, like, well, a rattlesnake's.  Sky also has a habit of ssssspeaking with drawn-out sssss's.  She also has many other snakelike habits, such as eating only once a week, and striking only if cornered.  She is incredibly loyal however, and defends the Gillian clan with passion.
