Dorsal Dragons are so named because they have large fins along their backs that can be raised and lowered at will. They use these fins to regulate body temperature; they raise them to cool off when they become overheated. The bright colors on the fins double as a means of attracting mates.

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.

Flying Lineage is a very, very, very silly dragon. He is a dragon of science, often experimenting with coconuts and swallows. He has a fear of rabbits, which the other dragons all laugh at. He has always thought of Camelot as a silly place -- but, to him, any place can be silly. His mate, Monty Python's, shares the same philosophy. They love each other dearly, and plan to continue expanding their very silly family.
