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.

Laa Ok is named for her laissez-faire attitude. Whatever happens, whatever others may do, she just says, "Laa Ok" and goes her own way. She gets along with almost everyone in the cave just because she makes no judgements and finds no fault.
