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.

Sturmvogel failed to graduate Stuka's dive-hunting school, because he flies way too fast to perform a safe dive, which does not include a procedure of smashing himself onto the ground. Even if he managed to slow himself down, it would bring too much pressure on his wings, which Stuka became personally worried about the effect of the maneuver on his health. Unlike the other students who are able to make use of Stuka's well-developed technique, Sturmvogel had to work hard to create his own, which he treated very seriously. The end result made good use of his fast speed, a attack sequence that is started by him flying low high speed, striking the prey before it can react and pull up toward the sky. Given his great speed which only falls short in front of the legendary Komet of Hope, it is an effective attack that only lacks in the department of accuracy, which also serves as a distraction for Stuka's main group to attack from above.
