Swallowtail Dragons are graceful and quick flyers, much like their namesake bird. They are capable of precise aerial acrobatics, and can reach very high altitudes. Because of this, humans observing these dragons are often astonished at how large they are when confronted up close. A Swallowtail’s diet consists of insects and small mammals plentiful in temperate forests. These dragons are also made remarkable by their paper-thin wing membranes, which allow light to pass through, creating an astonishing effect on starry nights.

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.

Twisting Fog is a rather rash and loud Swallowtail who lives in a group of female and male Swallowtails. He was lucky to have a nice lineage and get a mate, since Swallowtails who cannot meet that criteria are not allowed to join. When he first joined, he had a crush on a female Swallowtail named Far Star. She had no mate and the crush grew into love as both dragons talked to each other. Twisting Fog is a happy Swallowtail, with a lovely mate and a wonderful home.

Twisting Fog likes to take his mate out on flights at night. Because she is very lightweight, Twisting Fog lets her ride on his back and gets to hear her talk about all of the stars in the sky. He enjoys listening to all of his mates tales about the constellations.

The male Swallowtail does feel sympathetic towards the dragons who are turned down when they try to enter the group. He wishes that the guard wasn't so strict, but he doesn't do anything about it.
