Albino Dragons are so named because their translucent, scale-less skin lacks all pigment. Instead, to help protect their bodies from the sun, they are coated in an oily secretion that blocks the sun’s harmful rays. The call of an albino dragon is similar to a barn owl--a shriek instead of a roar.

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.

Eve is Pale and Interesting, and wishes the others in the cave would realise that. Instead they keep asking if she is anaemic or sick, and she finds this very offensive. What annoys her most is that Pale Beatitude, who actually prides himself on being pale and Interesting, is the prime offender. She knows it is because he wants to be the ONLY pale and interesting dragon in the cave—but still, it irritates her. So when she gets a chance she puts little bits of grit in his bed. It gives her some degree of satisfaction when she hears him wailing about how scratchy he feels.
