Azure Glacewing Dragons are one of the largest breeds. They grow to overwhelming sizes; folklore tells of ancient dragons outgrowing even lakes and mountains. They are quite oblivious in nature, and rarely care for—or even notice—the presence of other, smaller creatures. When hungry, an Azure Glacewing might strike suddenly, securing a tasty snack. An adult Glacewing is often more commonly found in the sea than in the sky or on land, due to their enormous weight. However, come mating season, Azure Glacewings return to the forests in which they were born, so that the young have lots of game to feed on.

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.

When he was growing up, Agiruda had trouble making friends because of how large in stature he was compared to other hatchlings. He started asking his extended family to teach him different calls other dragon breeds would use to greet each other, so he could seem more approachable. Over the course of several years, Agiruda practiced hundreds of chirps, squeaks, growls, purrs, and trills, working hard to memorize and imitate sounds for different social situations. Incidentally, the turning point was when he started befriending some of the cats from the nearby village, who would snatch scraps from Agiruda's seafood meals and then eat their snacks while perched on his back. After all, it was much more difficult to find Agiruda scary when he was constantly in the company of cats, meowing back and forth with them. Nowadays, it's common for dragons to say hello to Agiruda when they see him; he feels very happy when he is able to recognize the specific draconic tongue and return the greeting.
