Nebula Dragons are nocturnal creatures. With the best eyesight to be found, they are often seen staring into space. Each dragon tends to observe a particular nebula and will eventually change their colors and patterns to match it. As the nebula changes over time, the dragon changes with it. The more intricate the design of the nebula, the better chance an individual has of attracting a mate. It is said that the markings on no two Nebula Dragons will be exactly the same.

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.

Starred Shorts, despite being one of the dragons serving the mythical entity called the Batter, is never taken as seriously as the other dragons. The nebula he observed had a special cluster of stars near the bottom end, which is why when he's observed, he's often seen wearing starred shorts, which is where he got his name from.

He doesn't really believe in purifying or anything, but he does believe in the Batter's existence. However, when he tries to convince others, nobody believes him because of how ridiculous he looks with his starred shorts.

He's a pretty easy-going Nebula dragon, despite his belief in the Batter's existence. The only thing he's ashamed of about his life is that out of all the nebulas he chose to observe, he got the one that gave him starred shorts.
