Skywing Dragons spend most of their lives flying in the air. They hunt from the air, diving at prey from above, and land only to rest. They are some of the fastest fliers, capable of extremely high speeds. The webbing at the end of the tail acts as a rudder, allowing them to easily change direction during flight.

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.

Cloudnymph is a sweet little dragon who loves to flit between the clouds. He can brew up a storm though whenever anyone pokes fun at his girly name which Marquian, his unwitting foster parent, provided before she realized he was, in fact, male. This started the clan tradition of the naming and coming of age ceremony in Marquian's Dragon clan of the dragons naming themselves when they mature. He was the firstborn of all of Marquian's dragons and always helps guard the newly adopted eggs.
