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.

"Herbal remedies are the solution to everything." This is what Relapse believes, and he certainly does practice what he preaches. His nest, which he has built out of leaves and flowers rather than the treasure most dragons hoard, is composed of every herb, spice, and plant he needs when he works his magic. If a hatchling is injured whilst playing or if an elder falls ill, Relapse is there to offer his services. He is the lead male healer of the Pillows in his cave and is a very admirable male for what he does. He has a book of remedies that he tucks under his nest whenever he is away, for fear that anyone wishing to steal his claim to fame will smuggle it off, learn his secretive methods, and take his place as the healer. Aside from seeking his medical advice, his fellow Pillows look to him for comfort. Hatchlings enjoy snuggling up to him on cold nights because he smells of sage and lavender.
