Frilled Dragons are smaller than most other breeds, but when threatened, they stretch out their wings and frills to appear larger. They generally do not like to fight and prefer hiding to confrontation. Frilled dragons live in small groups and often band together to scare off potential threats. Males also use their frills as a way to attract mates, with those displaying the “best” frills being more likely to breed.

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.

Wynola is a "hostage". The human holding her wants some of her pack's gold before she's freed. A house visitor, at first glance, would see a dragon sitting obediently in the center of the room, wearing an innocent expression. If the patched walls, broken floor, and frightened pets aren't tip-offs, there is also an ever-growing list of rules pinned to a lopsided beam that suggests she's more trouble than she's worth:

Eat the food given to you

Do not induce vomiting

Exercise bladder control

No magic in the kitchen

No magic in the den

No magic at all

Making mana glop counts as magic

It's not "soup"

Utensils are for the human only

No knives

No forks

No sharp metal objects

No dull metal objects

No balloons of any kind

The dogs don't want to compete in "cook-offs"

The dogs are not ingredients in "cook-offs"

No setting fire to the cat

Even if he "started it"

...

The list goes on for a few meters, but it's apparent that its authority has no effect on Wynola. It might help if she could read.
