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.

Blyrek is an interesting albino dragon; this is because he can't speak. Being a mute, Blyrek talks only in screeches and chirps in the back of his throat. When hatching out of his egg, two things were noticed: his tail was longer than most and he had no tongue, just some muscle stump in the back of his throat. Even though he can't talk, he portrays his emotion extremely well, mostly because he is always happy. And being mute doesn't deter him from socializing; he takes every opportunity to meet every dragon he can and constantly chirps and screeches with them. Many who know him claim that he is the best friend a dragon, or human, could want.
