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.

Fluffy Ginny is sensitive to the sun. She's never been the outdoorsy type, but recently she's gotten so bad she can't even glance outside, much less frolic about as her elders would like her to. As she spends more and more time inside, her eyes grow more used to darkness and her fur thinner and thinner due to its lacking the vitamins it needs to resume its luxurious shine. Her thin fur might have caused her to feel a little cold and maybe catch the flu for a few days, but the warm weather doesn't allow that: no, she gets sunburned instead.
