The Freckled Dragon is a small, cunning breed known for their obsessive hoarding habits. Males and females are visually identical, but one can tell the difference between genders depending on what they collect—males only collect green-colored items, while females only collect red-colored items. Though their wings are too small to sustain flight, these dragons can glide for a short distance. Instead of flying, Freckled Dragons travel by running at swift speeds for long distances. They are typically docile, but can become violent if their treasure is threatened.

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.

Aaloo, as her name is usually written, enjoyed the sound of her name so much that she started using it as her signature cry. While sitting atop her hoard of assorted red items, she will howl "Aaaaaaloooooo!" like a wolf, regardless of the time of day. This isn't too much of a problem on its own, but when half a dozen or so hatchlings attempt to imitate her, it becomes rather irritating. Luckily, Aaloo is such a sweetheart that it's hard to hold a grudge against her, even when she wakes everyone up with her howling.
