Balloon Dragons are so named because they are filled with a gas that makes them almost lighter than air, similar to balloons. However, they are not prone to bursting, as they are covered in tough skin and can deflate themselves if necessary. In addition, they generally are slow moving. They use their gas bladders to float to the tops of trees, where food is more abundant. They can shift their weight from their backs to their fronts, allowing them to reach leaves and fruit.

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.

Keyhki was brought to the clan after a terrible windstorm. She was an adult when she arrived. The clan took her in, but were unsure if they were able to trust her or not. Fortunately, Keyhki was a good dragon and obeyed the rules. She became friends with Kiba, a female sunset dragon. Keyhki never really had an interest in hatchlings. She floats slowly when in the air, and it seems to take forever to get her to come down. She isn't a good mother either, and she doesn't keep any of the eggs she lays. Keyhki is a friendly dragon, but then again, she's very boring to be around.
