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.

Nebuzaradan doesn't get on too well with the other dragons and stays mostly on his own in his private cave. Highly vain, he spends a lot of time cleaning himself, an obsession which when combined with his snobbish attitude, sends him into a meltdown whenever a mischievous Faycmao covers him in boot polish.
