Spitfires are a desert breed of dragon. Their dull brown bodies contrast with their brilliant turquoise markings, and they only blaze brighter when these dragons fight. Spitfires are notorious for their territorial natures, and the wing-edges of most are ripped and tattered before their first year is out. Spitfires are also noteworthy for their brilliant blue fire, which is used not for hunting or fighting, but rather for making glass caves from the sand, in which the dragons can soak up the sun.

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.

Pyrus spends most of his time wandering in the desert or soaking up the sun. He makes catacombs in his beautiful cave when he isn't defending the desert he calls home. Sometimes he gets into fights with other dragons over food, and sometimes he fights for glory or to expand his territory. He has a burn scar on one of his legs from one of these violent battles. Pyrus has had children before, but he usually abandons them because he's too irresponsible to take care of them.
