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.

Vanilla Custard is a smart young dragoness who doesn't like her name and keeps trying to get others to call her something else. Most dragons keep calling her Vanilla Custard though, because they think it's funny. The name was given to her by her father, who she considers to be embarrassingly soppy. She doesn't mind being showered with red-coloured gifts by him though, and has the largest hoard of anyone in her neighbourhood. Sometimes at night she sneaks to her father's cave and leaves green-coloured gifts for him in return, but she'd never admit to doing such a thing.
