Skywing Dragons spend most of their lives flying in the air. They hunt from the air, diving at prey from above, and land only to rest. They are some of the fastest fliers, capable of extremely high speeds. The webbing at the end of the tail acts as a rudder, allowing them to easily change direction during flight.

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.

When the Dragons of the Storm Crow Clan stole the Sky Wing egg they did so because they believed that it would bring good luck to both the cave and the clan. They were not mistaken. When the young dragon first matured and took to the sky, gliding amongst the clouds, they knew that a thing of such loveliness could never be anything but good and named her Angel in honour of her beauty. Angel spends most of her time in the sky, circling round the area of the cave, reciting poetry and smoking slim black cigars. She is good friends with Taranis the Thunder Dragon and they can often be found together, daring each other to perform aerial stunts and manoeuvres of ever increasing skill and magnificence; diving for sparrows and chaffinches, looping loops and dancing stately aerial pavanes together, wreathed in lightening, robed in cloud. When not flying, Angel can be found basking on sun warmed rock upon the shore, dreaming of flying past the clouds to the land of the night sky beyond the moon.
