Spirit Ward Dragons are a special breed that ward off evil spirits—at least, that’s what the legends say. During nighttime festivals, people love to see these dragons, because they believe that the dragons guard against evil spirits. The dragons are dark-colored, but glow with a flame-colored internal light that has an intensity that they control.

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.

Kudan is somewhat of a show off but a very cheerful dragon. Because of his spirit ward genes, he of course glows at certain degrees depending on the time of night, which he shows the hatchlings of the clan to entertain them whilst the other adults are sleeping or hunting. He is usually seen caring for the hatchlings and eggs which has raised him to the alpha nurturer rank in his clan.
