Seasonal Dragons take on the characteristics of the season during which they are born. Thus, eggs that are laid in spring match the pink flowers and green buds of spring, and those that are laid in the summer grow to depict the bright green of the forest trees and the yellow of the sun. Eggs laid in autumn display the bright colors of leaves falling from trees, and those that are laid during winter take on the appearance of the icy snow.

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.

Stoppage is a very good thing thrower, as long as the thing is small enough and can be held safely. He can throw the thing from one hand and catch it with the other, but unlike many dragons, he can do this with more than one thing at a time, by timing the throws and and throwing them high enough. His record for the number of balls he can throw at once is five, and he's working on getting cups and baskets up to five. Stoppage has shown dragons in adjacent territories this skill, and they look impressed at his coordination and wonder if he can apply it somewhere. Maybe one day, he'll find a purpose for throwing things.
