Turpentine Dragons are named for the oil that covers their scales. This oil resembles turpentine in odor and is mildly toxic; it will not kill but it burns to the touch and will cause illness in anyone who ingests it. Turpentine Dragons roam in large packs, often stealing food from larger dragons, though they are able to hunt for themselves if necessary. Many other breeds consider Turpentine Dragons to be pests, so they primarily breed among themselves.

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.

TurpentineDancer is a Turpentine Dragon who loves to dance. She is always leaping and bounding through her cave, twirling and whirling with wild abandon. Unfortunately for every other dragon in her cave, this gets her oil all over the place; even splashing directly onto other dragons. So, needless to say, TurpentineDancer isn't very popular in her cave. Only other Turpentines want anything to do with her, since her oil doesn't hurt them at all. Lumina Dragons flee from the mere mention of her name.
