Ridgewing Dragons live just below the snow level on the upper slopes of mountains. They are a friendly, playful breed and enjoy dancing in wind currents near their homes or plummeting down into valleys from great heights. Their wings, by far their most striking feature, grow in fin-like ridges along their backs. While their bodies lack markings to blend better with their surroundings, a ridgewing’s wings have bright markings in the colors of the flowers that grow in their mountain habitat. Occasionally different-colored individuals can be found, but they are rare because their striking coloring offers little protection.

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.

Pecaso takes great pride in his colouration, considering himself the "most beauteous creature of the territory." He spends all his time in the air, proudly displaying his colouration. Despite his excess of hubris, he is well-liked among the dragons in the VentusVehos territory. He has, more than once, been the lynchpin that held their tight-knit family together, and broken up most of the fights that have appeared (rare as they are). The only things he cares for more than the full group are his blood relatives, and he has been known to shun the company of 'his Human' each time she makes the decision to abandon an egg that bears his blood.
