Albino Dragons are so named because their translucent, scale-less skin lacks all pigment. Instead, to help protect their bodies from the sun, they are coated in an oily secretion that blocks the sun’s harmful rays. The call of an albino dragon is similar to a barn owl--a shriek instead of a roar.

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.

Ripplescale is known as one of the three Elders in the clan, along with FlameEagle and Ravenclaws (the latter because of her potential as leader). Out of the trio, he is the eldest of the clan, and many dragons respect him. The albino dragon paces around at dawn for a few minutes, before returning to the cave where he and the rest of the Elders live.

He can be seen training Ravenclaws to become leader when he retires, but this will be unlikely, as only he can command respect from all of the dragons.
