Spinel Wyverns are small, sleek dragons that zealously collect spinel gemstones to line their nests. They are very affectionate with those they bond with, and will happily spend hours grooming a dragon of a different species if allowed to. Spinels are well-known for their even temperament, but when offended, they are very slow to forgive and will never forget. These wyverns will readily perform tasks in exchange for spinels, and occasionally other stones. Occasionally, they can be born with iridescent pale green scales instead of the usual rich red-violet.

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.

Cerebrospinel's fluid movements mean others often assume she is a dancer, but that is not the case. She is a psychologist who usually uses her skills to get into peoples' heads. Usually, this is benevolent. She explores others' thoughts to help traumatised or distressed individuals face their fears and come to a happier place in life. Sometimes, however, she has been known to be unpleasant and manipulative in order to convince someone to offer her a particularly valuable spinel. She wants one day to own a bar, based on the principle that everyone with a problem pours their hearts out to the bartender. If she had a bar, she would be able to play the therapist to them. The problem is that her romantic partner, She Xol, only gets off in the evenings, and a bar is mainly open in the evenings. She loves him too much, and knows he didn't mean anything negative when he bought her some of the supplies she might need, carved from her favourite stone. She adores her spinel taps.
