Seasonal Dragons take on the characteristics of the season during which they are born. Thus, eggs that are laid in spring match the pink flowers and green buds of spring, and those that are laid in the summer grow to depict the bright green of the forest trees and the yellow of the sun. Eggs laid in autumn display the bright colors of leaves falling from trees, and those that are laid during winter take on the appearance of the icy snow.

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.

Dee'kari'itda is large for his kind and without scruples.  If he wants food, he takes it.  If he wants the warmest shelter, he'll take that, too.  And if he wants offspring, he'll hound a female until she's tired and starving, then trap her and hold her down until his egg is laid-- which is precisely how he came by his son Sca'itda, when the unwary wanderer Scarum stumbled into his territory.  Though he was terrible towards Scarum, it must be said that he has been a proud and devoted father to his son, and knows his son will do better in life than he himself ever has.
