Shadow Walkers are a strange breed that possess the ability to slip between the planes of reality, becoming immaterial. This allows them to hide in the shadows, either hunting from the concealment of near invisibility or evading enemies. Though they become corporeal to mate or to eat, they spend most of the rest of their lives walking in the shadows. Shadow Walkers are wary creatures, though on dark autumn evenings when the leaves fall to swirl in the chill, rain damp air, they may be seen drifting out from the shadows.

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.

Inspiratio is an incredibly huggy dragon... but only to other Shadow-Walkers, especially Spirit. He hugs her all the time, no matter how much she protests. He can tell she needs hugs. Lots and lots of hugs.

Or maybe it's the fact that he kind of, sort of has a crush on her. Nothing like Jade's crush-obsession with Isaac though; just a platonic crush that may or may not develop into love or a crush-obsession.

When questioned about his crush on Spirit, Inspiratio responded with this:

"Why are you curious about my business, when my business is my own. You have no business sticking your tiny Dark Myst Pygmy muzzle into my business. Now go away... And stay away from Spirit! She's mine—er, I mean, she doesn't like nosy dragons."

The interviewer asked no more questions, as Spirit (and consequently Inspiratio) were leaving with the first night of the waning of Cirion.
