Wintertide Dragons are a shy species that tend to be docile in nature. The leaf-like growths on their heads are rumored to have medicinal properties, though few have ever gotten close enough to test that theory. They maintain small groups in the mountains where they live, and rarely leave their homes in the peaks, aside from a short winter migration. The rhythmic chime of their feathers and their melodic wails are often considered to be the ballad of winter.

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.

Yellow Supergiant is large and luminous, but not so large that he can't wind comfortably atop Langes Holz, the largest, tallest tree on Fine Mountain and his favorite spot to chill and watch the sky life. He recognizes all the folks who frequently fly past, but he doesn't say hi unless they say hi. He's never been very good at magic or handling mana, so there's always at least two Fine residents nearby watching to ensure he doesn't accidentally set Holz ablaze or something. The tree and maybe others nearby are thought to house a powerful force and affect the energy of mountain life. The last time it was badly injured (struck during a storm), there was an earthquake shortly after, said to be the mountain shuddering. That occurred some years before Yellow Supergiant was born, so he's heard of it from everyone who experienced it, and he wonders if he should be miffed that others don't trust him to be careful.
