Blue-Banded Dragons are found primarily in mountainous regions with lots of precipitation. Although terrestrial, they are most often sighted near running water and feed mostly on fish. Females are very social and form tight-knit family groups, while males are strictly solitary and will fight any other dragons that enter their territory outside of breeding season. For this reason, females tend to drive males away when they are not ready to mate, or when they are caring for hatchlings. The amount of striping varies greatly from individual to individual, with some dragons having only faint dark streaks on their sides and others appearing to be almost entirely dark blue with paler markings.

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.

Crowdie is very watchful of the goings-on in his territory and is about as fight-happy as a typical blue-banded. When someone invades C-Zone ("Crowdie-Zone") and looks like they're up to no good, he will challenge them, but sometimes, he'll get a bizarre urge to... not challenge them. An overpowering force will rattle in his head, ordering him to refrain from engaging in violence, and this set of brainwaves apparently has no overlap with the thoughts of the trespassing dragon. In fact, trespassers usually look terribly confused when Crowdie clasps his head, frustratedly barks at the sky, and walks away from them. Crowdie wonders if some powerful entity has its attention on him and wants him to behave a certain way or if he just has a loud conscience that disagrees with many of his decisions.
