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.

Xaybec isn't especially fast or strong, and would probably have fallen victim to a predator long ago if it weren't for his glib tongue and extraordinary way with words.  He could sell electricity to a thunder dragon or lava to a magma, and on multiple occasions has successfully talked a vampire dragon out of attacking him.  Xaybec is charming enough that even dragons who know they are being fooled will still listen intently, and some even boast later on about being outwitted by the clever albino.
