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.

Like many of her brethren Tanami loves to create marvelous statues out of glass. In a clan with only a very small area habitable for Ultraviolets and Spitfires and therefore only a few members of her breed, her sculptures hold a great novelty value in addition to their inherent beauty. Tanami loves to share the beauty of her art and has long since given up on hunting for food or foraging for riches to add to her hoard. She gets everything she needs in exchange for her creations and many a dragon of the clan is proud to call a true "Tanami" his own.
