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.

Overly aggressive even for a Spitfire, Sabora was taken in as a hatchling after another owner gave up on trying to raise her. Despite her angry disposition, K loves Sabora even if Sabora herself has tried to harm K many times. Occasionally Sabora will remain calm enough for K to pet and even ride her, though it doesn't last very long. Sabora ultimately only cares for her mate Lakshri and even though he annoys her sometimes, she only responds to him when called (ignoring everyone else) and can be seen secretly cuddling or following her mate around.
