Balloon Dragons are so named because they are filled with a gas that makes them almost lighter than air, similar to balloons. However, they are not prone to bursting, as they are covered in tough skin and can deflate themselves if necessary. In addition, they generally are slow moving. They use their gas bladders to float to the tops of trees, where food is more abundant. They can shift their weight from their backs to their fronts, allowing them to reach leaves and fruit.

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.

Baloofor loves bouncing.  It's his favorite pastime, and just about the only time Baloofor will not be bouncing his balloon-like body around is when eating or sleeping, and even then, he will still hover about playfully.  Perpetually happy, nothing ever seems to get Baloofor down, though it could be that he never particularly thinks about anything besides bouncing to let anything get him down.  As such, Baloofor is great around hatchlings, or anyone in need of a boost to their mood.  Baloofor will do his best to make spirits lighter than his own air-filled body!
