Albino Dragons are so named because their translucent, scale-less skin lacks all pigment. Instead, to help protect their bodies from the sun, they are coated in an oily secretion that blocks the sun’s harmful rays. The call of an albino dragon is similar to a barn owl--a shriek instead of a roar.

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.

Curt Response is an educated dragon. She has dedicated her life to learning everything she can about whatever she can. Much of her time is spent alone in quiet contemplation, observation, or experimentation. The ground around her cave is covered in scratches she has made in the dirt as she puzzles out some complicated formula. She dislikes being interrupted, and will snap at anyone who bothers her for petty reasons. Despite her rude manner and reclusive personality, she has the respect of her neighboring dragons, for she believes it is her duty to share her knowledge with anyone who truly needs it and will always help when necessary.
