Speckle-Throated Dragons are an active, playful breed. They are easily excited and rarely remain still, spending much of their time in the air. Living in groups of up to sixty dragons, they nest in open plains and at the bases of mountains. Their speckled throats are their most distinctive feature, as well as the loud, echoing call they produce to communicate with one another. Female Speckle-Throats are slightly smaller than males and lack a head crest. However, they are swifter and more agile and prefer to hunt in small groups in order to take down prey.

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.

Urthemiel is beautiful and she knows it. As proud as the Golds of Nadat's cave, as meticulous in cleaning as the Luminas, Urthemiel takes great care to keep herself lovely. Unfortunately, considering how much she also enjoys flying around and playing, this doesn't leave her a whole lot of time for anything else and Urthemiel often winds up short on everything—short on sleep, short on time, and short on temper.
