The Aeria Gloris are an unusual-looking breed. With six glowing eyes, a ring of crystals that orbits around the dragon’s neck, and seven sets of short wings lining their body, these dragons are thought to be related to something primordial, perhaps even alien. Regardless, Aeria Gloris Dragons are graceful and gifted with potent magic that allows them to manipulate space almost instinctively. They have been known to use highly complex teleportation magic on the fly, and while these dragons are not very mobile on the ground, they often take off by using their magic to create a field which temporarily reverses gravity’s hold. Aeria Gloris are usually neither malicious nor benevolent, preferring to mind their own business and wandering as if in search of something.

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.

In a case on nominative determinism, ZOoQs helps out at the Nworset Zoo. He works primarily with the primates, using his natural antigravity to gently float fruits into the enclosures from above. He loves the high-energy primates, and considers it a personal challenge to design enrichment puzzles that take longer to solve than he spends designing them, yet are simple enough that the assorted monkeys and apes do solve the puzzles rather than give up. Some visitors are concerned that the enrichment activities are going to teach the primates how to escape, pointing to the dragonslayers from the human kingdom of Northpoint to the south as an example of the extreme danger this could pose. ZOoQs has found that the happier the animals, the less likely they are to look for a way out, and the more likely they are to return if they do. Still, he keeps a watchful eye to prevent teasing and magical mishaps that could lead to problems down the line.
