Albino Dragons are so named because their translucent, scale-less skin lacks all pigment. Instead, to help protect their bodies from the sun, they are coated in an oily secretion that blocks the sun’s harmful rays. The call of an albino dragon is similar to a barn owl--a shriek instead of a roar.

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.

Porcelain Angel is one of the most docile dragons in Silvora's cave. The albino dragon is thin almost to the point of being emaciated and never very quick when she moves about. At first, many of the others thought she was simply depressed, until Silvora followed her while she went hunting and realized that the dragon is nearly blind. With this knowledge, many of the other dragons now go out of their way to assist her. The benefits of this quickly piled up, with Angel becoming more healthy, and even coming out of her shell a bit and playing with the others.
