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.

Etherith was from the start a very dependent dragon, and clung to the safety of Eleria's home until he could no longer fit within the confines of it's walls and was forced to find a new dwelling. Under cover of night, master and dragon left to seek for him a suitable dwelling. She now visits him every day she is able, in the cave he found near Lilianara's chosen home. Etherith is one of Eleria's favorites, due mostly to his amiable temperament and sense of absolute empathy.
