Spitfires are a desert breed of dragon. Their dull brown bodies contrast with their brilliant turquoise markings, and they only blaze brighter when these dragons fight. Spitfires are notorious for their territorial natures, and the wing-edges of most are ripped and tattered before their first year is out. Spitfires are also noteworthy for their brilliant blue fire, which is used not for hunting or fighting, but rather for making glass caves from the sand, in which the dragons can soak up the sun.

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.

Kala is actually quite calm and serene for a Spitfire. He isn't friendly by any means, but he does prefer to remain solitary and out of violence's way. He has this mysterious, superior, almost regal air to him. He's quite big for his breed, surpassing all of his close family in height, and is also among strongest physically of them. So, whenever he does need to defend himself, Kala is more than capable of doing so. Typically, however, Kala uses his strength while hunting. He is a prolific and skilled hunter and spends most of his time in the act. He likes to take on large, challenging game like lions, tigers, and bears. Oh my! He seems most at ease and content while stalking the wild and taking on creatures his size or even larger. And, he seems quite happy when he brings his kills back to his family. Though he never shows it, Kala really seems to love his family and supporting them. As much as he insists he's a lone wolf without any feelings, his caring actions say otherwise.
