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.

Spitfire is the second-in-command in the Waales'TerLei Ground force. He is specially talented because when the team travels around the East Wing of the island, the Dolepo Desert, he can quickly build a glass shelter while the guards keep the glass heated throughout the night. He is fierce and almost too ambitious. With a quick temper, any intruders don't stand a chance against his lightning agility and scalding flames. His teeth are sharp, and woe on the dragon whose flesh they find.
