Speckle-Throated Dragons are an active, playful breed. They are easily excited and rarely remain still, spending much of their time in the air. Living in groups of up to sixty dragons, they nest in open plains and at the bases of mountains. Their speckled throats are their most distinctive feature, as well as the loud, echoing call they produce to communicate with one another. Female Speckle-Throats are slightly smaller than males and lack a head crest. However, they are swifter and more agile and prefer to hunt in small groups in order to take down prey.

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.

That may sound strange, but they found she's good at every skill the Watch requires except flying, and she's so kind and optimistic that they felt bad turning her away, so she's an exception. She's also the only member who happily takes on the "boring stuff" such as recording group activities and reporting to the community chief. That's just as well because her name, "I was riding to work on the", would likely confuse anyone else handling documents about her, so it's best that she does them herself. Though she's fine with nicknames, she warns that anyone who tries to change her name's formatting in any way will have theirs changed as well. "zO.Ogo' the ridgewing learned that the hard way: he's called Zoogo, but officially, he is "zO.Ogo' because every single document mentioning him says ""zO.Ogo'".
