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.

Nenglos is shy, gentle, loving, and sharing. She hates carrots and potatoes, unlike some Albino Dragons. She likes to sit in quiet forests, close her eyes, and listen to the birds. Her best friend is sh-ell, a Shallow Water Dragon who lives with Whisperer's friend, Avigail. Every night, Nenglos tells the hatchlings a story, and then snuggles with them until they fall asleep. Golden Ivy, or Ivy, an alternate Vine Dragon, will often put on plays for the hatchlings with his vines. Nenglos is secretly in love with Ivy.
