Aria dragons are a brightly-colored and sprightly breed, perhaps most adored for their lyric calls. Their song-like melodies fill the areas they inhabit; their coos resemble those of birds, only more elegant and refined. They have fairly strong magical capabilities, but tend to reserve these strengths for last-minute defense, choosing to live their lives in simple peace. Arias, sticking to the tropics, typically live quite far from human settlements, giving rise to the previously held belief that they had gone extinct.

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.

The Lily of Death is an old pink, and proud. She knows her breed can no longer breed dragons like her, and is even more arrogant for it. She's often seen boasting to her children, who just lap it up and continue the tradition, going on to tell their friends and neighbors about their brilliant, special mother. This is not helped by how she is an honorary member of the royal family on her scroll. She takes many mates and holds the title of the dragon who has the most offspring on her scroll. Other dragons talk behind her back about it, but she considers it a great achievement.
