Black Capped Teimarr are a small and sociable breed of dragon with an appetite for seafood. They can commonly be seen flitting around sand dunes and tidal marshes, searching for crabs and other aquatic invertebrates, or cavorting in tidal pools in hopes of finding landlocked fish. Because of their large wing-to-body size, they are excellent long distance fliers and are known to migrate hundreds of miles along coastlines, or even across open sea to outlying islands in search of seasonal delicacies such as bird eggs, fledglings and schooling bait fish. The males are easily distinguished by their large jousting horns and their extendable neck frill, which they show off to the females through enthusiastic head bobbing.

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.

Noether's hide is thinner and more prone to injury than a typical dragon's, so he has a force field around him as he performs his daily tasks. The shield makes him impervious to all forms of harm, though it can only block so much damage before Noether has to flee to have the spell recast. Not satisfied with this being his only form of defense, he practiced bashing horns without getting poked in return and took a few magic lessons from the local magi to improve his offensive capabilities, if he has to. Otherwise, Noether is satisfied catching seafood and meeting friendly dragons without picking any fights.
