Pyralspite dragons are small, swift dragons that can breathe an intensely hot flame. They get their name from their resemblance to and affinity for garnets of the pyralspite family—they hoard such gems, preferring garnets that match their variant, and can tell the type of garnet from how it tastes. The dark red variant is known as Pyrope. They tend to be fiercely loyal and noble, and have a stronger sense of justice than other Pyralspites. They live primarily in volcanic areas.

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.

No longer affiliated with the RX kind, but still sharing the RX name, Cryolite is an escaped member of the pack. Her escape was daring, even life threatening; she almost was mauled to death by Para-benzene and Toluene on her flight through the thickets and deep woods...

The underbrush bending to her wings, the thorns scratching her scales, she fled as fast as she could after being held prisoner. She had been hailed as a new member but she knew the truth; she was captive. "Quickly now," she heaved and gasped, fleeting, "They'll catch up soon..."

Now, she has many human friends. Being hundreds of years old, with aged wisdom, she can find the weaknesses of fragile creatures such as humans. They flock to her to cry; to let out what they can't elsewhere. Cryolite allows any human to come to her den- unarmed, that is- so she can listen to their tales and woes. They say that her presence and warmth is that of a mother; melancholy but sweet.
