Terrae Dragons are primarily herbivores who prefer to eat from the tops of trees. However, due to their massive size, they must rely on small, specialized scales to absorb and convert energy from the sun. Since they live in tightly-knit groups, this form of energy absorption helps preserve the forests in which these dragons reside.

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.

Quiet, thoughtful, and caring, Chikei spends her days roaming the outskirts of where the clan stays, looking for lost eggs, hatchlings, prey, or anything of interest. Generally an explorer, she loves mountainous and grassy areas, places she can climb, or bask in the sun. She absolutely loves beaches, and enjoys soaking up sun in the company of others.

Named for what she is, Chikei Criterio means 'Terrain Scale,' being Japanese-Italian.
