Seasonal Dragons take on the characteristics of the season during which they are born. Thus, eggs that are laid in spring match the pink flowers and green buds of spring, and those that are laid in the summer grow to depict the bright green of the forest trees and the yellow of the sun. Eggs laid in autumn display the bright colors of leaves falling from trees, and those that are laid during winter take on the appearance of the icy snow.

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.

Kalimalvin is annoying in several ways. He has a knack of making clear how miserable he is without uttering a single word. Instead, he will give you sad and empty looks, stare anxiously, sigh faintly and quiver with impressive virtuosity. When asked what the matter is, he will give you answers like "it doesn't matter", "you know perfectly well" or "nobody cares anyway." As a consequence of multiple unsuccessful communication attempts, the other creatures have started to really not care any more. Hence, Kalimalvin still sits aside from the rest, emanating bad vibrations and composing tearful poems, mostly about the cruelty of the world and his own inability to be loved.
