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.

Tomanche is always eager to help with things he enjoys, but when it comes to working, he is nowhere to be found. He wanders off, bored, doing anything except what he is supposed to be doing. He'll check on the eggs in the nursery, or busy himself with tidying his hoard, or counting all of the hairs on his left paw. Whenever he is chided for what the elders call "screwing around" he will say that he simply must do these things in order to do what he is being asked. Despite his tendency to procrastinate, Tomanche is quite diligent in his chores when he's focused.
