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.

Death has a pallid, corpse-like appearance, even more so than his father Ikliir. His shriek is more of a rasp, almost like a death rattle. He stays farther out than any of the other dragons, since misfortune in general seems to walk with him. He does not speak with anyone—not even Dragonheart—except for Pestilence, War, and Famine.

Lately, he has been associating with a strange, pale-cloaked man, despite repeated attempts to discourage him. There have now been sightings of all four dragons and their respective cloaked men together, usually at night when Nyxor is flying. Dragonheart and all her dragons are deeply worried and plan to make an attempt to stop this once and for all, but there is a general feeling of discouragement throughout the cave and it doesn't seem likely that they will succeed.
