Blacktip Dragons are a small, shore-dwelling breed that tend to nest on sheer ocean side cliffs. They live in groups under a dominant female, who prevents her subordinates from breeding. During the mating season, a group of Blacktips can be very noisy and smelly indeed; males produce a distinctive musky odor and loud, low-pitched honking noises in an attempt to woo the alpha female.

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.

Dratis is a quiet being, one who likes to stick to his own company. Or so it would seem to those who don't truly know him. Dratis, since the time he was little, has enjoyed exploring, and has on several occasions gone into places he shouldn't. However, since he visited the dungeons when he was little he has since spent most of his time there. On his first journey he met a Tsunami Wyvern, who, like him, enjoyed the water and everything about it. Her name, she said, was Priea, and the two have since been best friends. Since the wyvern is much too large for any of the nearby bodies of water on the surface, the two meet in the lake under the castle, splashing in the water and catching the occasional fish or two.
