Pillow Dragons are covered in enormous amounts of fur affectionately referred to as fluff. Despite their deceivingly large size, they can still fly even with such tiny wings because their bodies are remarkably light. Pillow Dragons have a habit of sleeping for up to eighteen hours a day, waking only in short bursts. During their few waking hours, they take the time to hunt for prey. Once a pillow dragon becomes an adult, its fur grows very slowly. Pillow dragon fur is used to make very expensive and valuable cloth known as “dragon cashmere.”

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.

Fluffer-Nut, named so due to his fluffy fur and skin the color of what the keeper describes as walnut, is a soft, humble fellow. He is often found sleeping, but when he awakens, he always helps the keeper and Honey-Heart tend to their bees. He is quite good at this, since his fur provides a protective covering from bee stings, as the little buggers can't get through his soft, silky fur. The keeper always has to brush his fur, though, since it gets so matted when he tosses and turns in his sleep; the excess hair that she collects has become pillowcasings, blankets, and warm cardigans for her home and her closet.
