Skywing Dragons spend most of their lives flying in the air. They hunt from the air, diving at prey from above, and land only to rest. They are some of the fastest fliers, capable of extremely high speeds. The webbing at the end of the tail acts as a rudder, allowing them to easily change direction during flight.

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.

Skylyte is a playful dragon and is the best hunter out of all of his owner's dragons. He is more agile and faster than most of his kind. Since none of his friends will race him besides another Skywing dragon or two, he sneaks off into other territories to find other dragons who will race him. But, he declines when a Whiptail dragon wants to race him, for Whiptail dragons are known to be the fastest dragons on land. To avoid awkward questions when none of his friends see him for a long period of time, he hunts large game and uses that as an excuse for why he was absent for such a long time. Little does he know that Soulflight already knows that he goes off by himself to race other dragons, but she doesn't say a word. He lives in the Sky Territory, which has an ample amount of trees, a huge lake, mountains, caves, hills, plains, and has the ocean next to it.
