Perhaps among the most venerated of dragon breeds is the Zyumorph, a breed whose selfless heroism and strong moral compass are nearly unparalleled by other dragons. Zyumorphs have an innate urge to fend off wrongdoing, and as such, are often sought after in times of peril. Although they are independently quite capable fighters, it is said that their true might is not unlocked until all six Zyumorphs are brought together in times of great duress.

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.

Spiorad Cosanta spends all of his days watching over his family. Even when he was a hatchling, he constantly tried to keep his fellow hatchlings and the unhatched eggs safe from predators. His family refers to him as the "protector" and sometimes even the "guardian". He will only move when his owner calls to him or when he needs to sleep. Spiorad Cosanta loves his family so much, he has fought dragons more than twice his size for them. May213 calls him "Spior" when they are alone as he has stuck close to her from hatching.
