Ridgewing Dragons live just below the snow level on the upper slopes of mountains. They are a friendly, playful breed and enjoy dancing in wind currents near their homes or plummeting down into valleys from great heights. Their wings, by far their most striking feature, grow in fin-like ridges along their backs. While their bodies lack markings to blend better with their surroundings, a ridgewing’s wings have bright markings in the colors of the flowers that grow in their mountain habitat. Occasionally different-colored individuals can be found, but they are rare because their striking coloring offers little protection.

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.

Step from the Edge is a rather reckless Ridgewing Dragon, narrowly avoiding trouble half the time. Step from the Edge, nicknamed 'Edge', is an egg runner for Acinacem Clan, finding Alpine eggs and bringing them back to the clan. Despite all the danger he poses to eggs, he almost never brings any harm to any of them. However, the caretakers back in the clan have never liked him because of his careless flying. No matter what, he is still friendly towards them, even if they don't act the same way to him.
