Seasonal Dragons take on the characteristics of the season during which they are born. Thus, eggs that are laid in spring match the pink flowers and green buds of spring, and those that are laid in the summer grow to depict the bright green of the forest trees and the yellow of the sun. Eggs laid in autumn display the bright colors of leaves falling from trees, and those that are laid during winter take on the appearance of the icy snow.

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.

Track and Field has become well-known by a few nation-states for interfering in the humans' sporting competition. He watched them every summer, and one day, tired of being uninvolved, he marched into their main stadium, barely avoided being skewered by the guards, and demanded he be allowed to compete because "there ain't no rule saying dragons can't participate in your games". He entered as many events as he could and lost them all, even the ones involving running and jumping, because he was too enamored with the other athletes and the spectators. He realized that he made quite a name for himself (literally) when the humans playfully nicknamed him Track and Field.
