Balloon Dragons are so named because they are filled with a gas that makes them almost lighter than air, similar to balloons. However, they are not prone to bursting, as they are covered in tough skin and can deflate themselves if necessary. In addition, they generally are slow moving. They use their gas bladders to float to the tops of trees, where food is more abundant. They can shift their weight from their backs to their fronts, allowing them to reach leaves and fruit.

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.

This egg was wedged between two boulders, preventing it from floating away. It's mother checked on it everyday and made sure it was warm and healthy. One day the mother was out hunting, and a earthquake swept over the land. The egg was loosened from the rocks and floated away in the rushing wind. The mother, who's wing got caught under a rock could only watch her egg float aimlessly into the air. The egg floated up to the mountains, and before it got to high, which would kill it, a albino dragon flew up and snatched it. The dragon who saved it belonged to AbandonedSavor and gave the egg to him as a gift. Abandonedsavor raised the egg and hatched it, now the once helpless egg is a fierce dragon and works by its master, helping him gain more dragons for his growing dragon family.
