Ridgewing Dragons live just below the snow level on the upper slopes of mountains. They are a friendly, playful breed and enjoy dancing in wind currents near their homes or plummeting down into valleys from great heights. Their wings, by far their most striking feature, grow in fin-like ridges along their backs. While their bodies lack markings to blend better with their surroundings, a ridgewing’s wings have bright markings in the colors of the flowers that grow in their mountain habitat. Occasionally different-colored individuals can be found, but they are rare because their striking coloring offers little protection.

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.

A Flower in the Wind was named because she would often pick her favorite flowers or the most beautiful flowers, soar into the sky and then drop them on other dragons in Nannu's dragon biome. Most dragons find this amusing and usually enjoy the flower sprinkle; however, a few like BleedingMoon are rather grumpy when they find they now have to clean up their area of the random flowers. Her name is often to Flower or Windy, however she loves introducing herself with her full name, finding it elegant and poetic.
