Pyralspite dragons are small, swift dragons that can breathe an intensely hot flame. They get their name from their resemblance to and affinity for garnets of the pyralspite family—they hoard such gems, preferring garnets that match their variant, and can tell the type of garnet from how it tastes. The dark red variant is known as Pyrope. They tend to be fiercely loyal and noble, and have a stronger sense of justice than other Pyralspites. They live primarily in volcanic areas.

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.

Being a gem-like dragon, Eaol is adored by his keeper and certain dragons. He truly is a sweetheart and looks like a cinnamon roll, but no matter how cute and cuddly he looks, he can also be quite dangerous. He is known to sweep off his foes by whipping his tail at their feet, and if that fails, he will either run off if he knows he is too weak or if he can defeat the target, he jumps straight at it and fights until he dies or gets what he wants.
