Spitfires are a desert breed of dragon. Their dull brown bodies contrast with their brilliant turquoise markings, and they only blaze brighter when these dragons fight. Spitfires are notorious for their territorial natures, and the wing-edges of most are ripped and tattered before their first year is out. Spitfires are also noteworthy for their brilliant blue fire, which is used not for hunting or fighting, but rather for making glass caves from the sand, in which the dragons can soak up the sun.

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.

TheMoonIsDown, named after the brilliant book by John Steinbeck, is a very aggressive male Spitfire. He prides himself in his mate, Chizella, a Gray dragon. He is quick to fight other males in his territory and many females steer clear of his den, not even attempting to battle him. Throughout all his harshness he is very devoted to his mate and will protect her (even though she can just as well protect herself!) til the very end.
