Nebula Dragons are nocturnal creatures. With the best eyesight to be found, they are often seen staring into space. Each dragon tends to observe a particular nebula and will eventually change their colors and patterns to match it. As the nebula changes over time, the dragon changes with it. The more intricate the design of the nebula, the better chance an individual has of attracting a mate. It is said that the markings on no two Nebula Dragons will be exactly the same.

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.

Pillars of Creation has always been somewhat distant. As a hatchling, he was never as playful or sociable as the others, preferring to keep to himself. As an adult, Creation is often found drifting through night skies, his patterned scales blending beautifully in with the stars which he mimics. Most of the other dragons in the cave find him somewhat odd, and although they are hardly rude to him, they can't help but give him odd looks.
