Brimstone Dragons live in dry arid areas such as deserts where they feed mainly on sheep, goats and the occasional camel. Their favorite habitat is ideally situated close to the wastelands around active volcanoes. This is due to an important part of their diet—sulfur, which they obtain from deposits near volcanic gas vents. Instead of fire, these dragons use the sulfur they ingest to create a noxious gas which they store in their large throat pouches. When in danger, this gas is released in a large cloud. They also eat other mineral rich substances—including charcoal—and will drink the mineral rich (but slightly acidic) water commonly found in deserts and volcanic regions.

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.

Windslow is a strange Republicator female, always muttering about something or other and acting most un-dragonesslike. She will often sit down to a meal with Netiri, Fluff, and Vince and completely ignore them, eating sloppily and letting out particularly bad burps. Her friends have had to leave in extreme haste multiple times, mainly because she forgot to hold in the noxious gas from her throat pouch and because they lost their appetites.

When Windslow is alone, she enjoys acting out scenes from the books in the Team Cydragon library, even though she is not supposed to go there--or, for that matter, into the Separator Territories. She has gotten in trouble many times for letting out noxious gas into the library when she laughs over a exceptionally humorous book.
