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.

It was thought that Sensational Tantrum would grow up to be stuck-up and have a bad temper, since she did have a "sensational tantrum" over some carrots. The dragon is actually sweet and good-natured, and still ashamed over something that happened a century ago when she was a child. She just can't forget about that one fit.
