Olive Dragons are a small, forest-dwelling breed, rarely growing much larger than the average sheep. When alarmed, they can erect a long row of venomous spines on their back, serving to warn any potential predators that Olives are not a good choice for a meal. While not strong enough to kill anything larger than a small deer, their venom causes an extremely painful reaction and necrosis at the bite site, sometimes causing the flesh to rot and limbs to fall off.

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.

Hound wishes she were human. The landscape of the dragons no longer interests her. Now that Hound has seen human ways, she considers this was to be her way of life. She sees humankind as beautiful and wishes she could interact with their world the same way they do, to feel what they feel and to see what they see.

She treasures her job as a scout, making good use of her ability to disguise herself. She uses this opportunity to explore the breathtaking caverns and mountainous expanses that Earth provides. She's a meek, benevolent soul, even compared to her fellow dragons. She gets along with the more blood-thirsty of their ranks.
