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.

Some dragons believe you can read a hatchling's destiny on the shell of its egg. Viktor isn't one of them... but still, when Slimer pointed out the scratches on a certain egg looked a lot like runes spelling "kLLIz", he was slightly unnerved at the thought the little one could grow up to kill the owner. So he decided to train the hatchling to protect her instead, becoming the owner's bodyguard.

The operation was a success, even if the owner doesn't always appreciate a grown Spitfire dragon trying to stick in the toilet to keep her safe. She also blames her escort for having absolutely no suitors.
