Found along the coast and in nests high above the ground, Mistra Dragons are respected for their gentle nature. They are known to adopt any abandoned eggs or hatchlings that they find and raise them as their own, singing softly to lull their young into a deep sleep. As a result of their close relationships with their families, Mistra Dragons tend to live in large, close groups. They use their large numbers to their advantage for many things, including putting on shows (of sorts) and frightening predators away from their nests.

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.

Mikake's days are full of hatchling babysitting and hosting activities for the younger dragons in the family, so she is always making to-do lists to keep things fun and interesting. However, she really doesn't like wasting parchment for these lists. The compromise she has settled on is to write the to-do lists in beautiful calligraphy with little drawings on the sides. She can later use the finished lists as wall decorations for her cavern. Mikake thinks that this strategy has worked out rather well: seeing the lists always brightens her mood when she remembers the good memories, and the younger hatchlings have taken to using the lists to practice their reading. It makes her particularly pleased when a hatchling asks if they can take the day's list home to keep in their own living cavern.
