Avatars of Change are unpredictable, exuberant dragons whose unique connection to magic has saturated their entire bodies. It is said that possessing one of their iridescent scales can change one’s fate, and many have sought the favor of these dragons hoping to receive a scale as a gift.

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.

The third and last of Elemental Trinity's three 'heirs' that were foretold by Comettail Whiskers, Chrysalmorph embodies the Element of Change. Chrysalmorph was born with a unique ability to alter his shape at will, and can take the form of any living thing. It is often theorized that he has this ability because his mother, Glaciatic Firn, is an Ice dragon, as ice is known for changing its form. However, Chrysalmorph is usually reluctant to take the form of creatures that aren't aesthetically pleasing, due to his effeminate, foppish nature. In fact, Chrysalmorph has a strong affinity to butterflies, which he believes are the most beautiful creatures alive. Not only is he frequently seen surrounded by the flying insects, he even chose to give up his true given name, Shifting Wing, and answer only to Chrysalmorph to honor the butterfly's own ability to change their form.
