Ridgewing Dragons live just below the snow level on the upper slopes of mountains. They are a friendly, playful breed and enjoy dancing in wind currents near their homes or plummeting down into valleys from great heights. Their wings, by far their most striking feature, grow in fin-like ridges along their backs. While their bodies lack markings to blend better with their surroundings, a ridgewing’s wings have bright markings in the colors of the flowers that grow in their mountain habitat. Occasionally different-colored individuals can be found, but they are rare because their striking coloring offers little protection.

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.

Clogwyn Aries was a perfectionist since he was only a hatchling. "It's aitch, not haitch!" He would squeak, leaving his nursemaids and fellow hatchlings afraid to even speak, let alone confront him. Dragons getting their tenses mixed up would give him a headache for hours, and he frequently had temper tantrums over use of acronyms. It was the introduction of the term 'YOLO' that finally snapped him. Donning a black opera mask, and a velvet cape, he travelled around the cave, watching and waiting for the diligent paper dragons to record a dragon's description onto the scroll. While the ink was left to dry, he would sneak towards it, take out a sheet of blotting paper, and the apostrophes would disappear. News of this spread like wildfire throughout the Clans, and thus the Apostrophe Bandit was born.
