Grave Dragons are not named for their connections to death or burial, but for the grave expression on their faces. This strange expression is used as a defense mechanism that causes fits of panic and terror in potential predators. Since they only eat ash and charcoal, they do not hunt. Grave Dragons are powerful fire-breathers and have been known to burn down forests and villages alike to make meals. It is believed that the markings on each Grave Dragon’s wings are the faces of those who have lost their lives in fires started by that dragon.

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.

Bats In The Belfry's beloved companion is a witch. The dragon once tried to help her with a potion that called for toadstools and wolfsbane. While the witch left to get mushrooms, Bats In The Belfry picked up the wolfsbane and tasted the petals, coughing frantically at the bitter taste. She then examined the witch's worktable in dismay. There was none left for the spell! Bats In The Belfry headed to the witch's garden to pick more. The human would return at sunset, and bats already fluttered across the sky. In desperation, the dragon picked a similar purple flower, whistling innocently as the witch returned. However, the potion did not cure the witch's cold. Instead, it turned her skin pea green and caused her to drool excessively. The witch turned her green gaze on the dragon, realizing too late that Bats In The Belfry had replaced wolfsbane with mandrake. The woman tried to find a way to reverse the damage, while her dragon sulked, burning and eating the remaining mandrake plants.
