Pillow Dragons are covered in enormous amounts of fur affectionately referred to as fluff. Despite their deceivingly large size, they can still fly even with such tiny wings because their bodies are remarkably light. Pillow Dragons have a habit of sleeping for up to eighteen hours a day, waking only in short bursts. During their few waking hours, they take the time to hunt for prey. Once a pillow dragon becomes an adult, its fur grows very slowly. Pillow dragon fur is used to make very expensive and valuable cloth known as “dragon cashmere.”

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.

Manaxi is as vain as a concieted prince. He insists on having 'only the best' of everything. The only dragons of his cave he allows himself to be associated with are Nimbassas and Eshitara. Most of his non-hunting related waking hours are spent admiring his collection of tiger's eye gemstones, grooming himself, and pretending to be a king. Part of his snobbish attitude may trace back to when he was just a new-born, when he wandered from the cave and was taken in by a rich family for a while.
