Pyralspite dragons are small, swift dragons that can breathe an intensely hot flame. They get their name from their resemblance to and affinity for garnets of the pyralspite family—they hoard such gems, preferring garnets that match their variant, and can tell the type of garnet from how it tastes. The orange variant is called Spessartine. These Pyralspites are more fun-loving and mellow than others, and are optimistic as a whole. Their preferred habitat is coastal areas.

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.

Heliodor is a gentle, mellow dragon with a carefree demeanor. He loves lying on the beach and enjoying the ocean waves, unbothered by any external distractions. He can, in fact, be a little too mellow, though, since his older Almandine sister, Gem, walks all over him. He's also very easily taken advantage of by other dragons and is a generally poor fighter. Even his hunting game is pretty pathetic since he is hardly fast enough to catch anything, so he subsists mostly on stones and fish. What Heliodor lacks in backbone, however, he makes up for in compassion and care. For as spineless as Heliodor may seem, he will do anything for a close friend in need. He's able to calm those around him in distress and is a great listener if they want to unburden themselves from that stress. Heliodor enjoys helping others, even though they usually have to seek him out first.
