Balloon Dragons are so named because they are filled with a gas that makes them almost lighter than air, similar to balloons. However, they are not prone to bursting, as they are covered in tough skin and can deflate themselves if necessary. In addition, they generally are slow moving. They use their gas bladders to float to the tops of trees, where food is more abundant. They can shift their weight from their backs to their fronts, allowing them to reach leaves and fruit.

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.

BB, as this Scrolls Keeper likes to call her, is a fun loving creature and also a nurturing one.  She appears to have taken over the role of nurse maid to the eggs and hatchlings.  The other adults in the collective seem to appreciate this as it allows them to concentrate on other duties.  The hatchlings themselves seem to find great amusement from BB's bouncing activities which BB herself thrives on.  It has been noticed a spark of amusement coming from some of the other adults at times too.  BB does not seem to have any issue as being thought of as a clown, as the collectives happiness appears to be her primary concern.
