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.

Optional Neccesity, much like his new best friend Maht, was neglected as an egg but lived to hatch. Unlike his friend, he hatched as quite the strong flier, and is much more agile than Maht. He is also stubborn and can be arrogant, even with the bigger, tougher dragons like Fire Dude, even if, despite his surprising strength considering his past, he's quite pathetic compared to them. He is also very focused and determined.
