Spotted Greenwings are relatively small nocturnal dragons. Easily recognizable by the fleshy appendages growing off of their head and rump, they are most commonly seen in forests at night, leaping and soaring from tree to tree. While generally social, spotted greenwings are very quiet and rarely make any sort of vocalization. Their bodies are unusually warm to the touch, though they are unable to breathe fire. Greenwings are voracious feeders and will consume nearly any living thing that they can fit in their mouths.

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.

Barka is a small nocturnal dragon who lives in one of the forests in the top most lands of the world; he has family and friends there. Belonging to a very social breed of dragon means that Barka is very friendly with other dragons. This being said however, any other being that he can attack he will: he is a vicious eater and will kill anything he possibly can. Barka prefers to live in the trees rather than upon the ground. He was first sighted and tagged by a tavern owner who had gone in search of his lost dog. Barka was seen to have only the dog's tail left to devour and so the tavern owner named him Barka after a character he heard in a story book as a child.
