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.

Tantari is a naive young dragon, with a very short fuse.  It is unbelievably easy to set him off.  In fact, if one even so much as walks past him, he snarls and lunges at them like an attack dog.  Most of the time, he starts fights with other males of his breed, but on occasion he is known to attack breeds much bigger than himself.  He has a large stone wheel attached to a smooth iron pipe, and although those are usually used to sharpen metal, he uses them to sharpen his dagger-like claws.  Tantari always sharpens his claws after walking around or after a fight, and this has made his claws dangerously sharp, capable of deeply piercing another dragon's hide with one simple poke.  It would be extremely unwise to cross him when he's in a foul mood, and you would be unlikely to survive such an encounter.
