Ridgewing Dragons live just below the snow level on the upper slopes of mountains. They are a friendly, playful breed and enjoy dancing in wind currents near their homes or plummeting down into valleys from great heights. Their wings, by far their most striking feature, grow in fin-like ridges along their backs. While their bodies lack markings to blend better with their surroundings, a ridgewing’s wings have bright markings in the colors of the flowers that grow in their mountain habitat. Occasionally different-colored individuals can be found, but they are rare because their striking coloring offers little protection.

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.

Lady Allison is a flamboyant and outgoing Ridgewing with a taste for adventure. She loves to follow the older Ridgewings as they set out for the day towards the snowy mountain peaks, searching for food and little bits and bobs to bring back to the cave. While he doesn't run into trouble too often, Allison will not usually fight with wild dragons; she seems afraid of combat, and will often assume a submissive position until her attacker gets bored or another dragon comes to her rescue. She has the uncanny ability to sniff out certain delicious roots deep underground and will furiously dig with her claws until she finds what she's looking for. She will sometimes come back with plump, juicy onions as gifts for her tamer, provided she gets a little bit out of it.
