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.

Though boisterous and terribly honest, Corneous is nice once one gets to know him. He is stubborn to a fault and had to be rescued by his friends and family a few times because he wouldn't give up on something. To his credit, he's had more memorable victories than failures, and people like his can-do attitude. He is downright giddy in a fight and is prone to laughter when he or the party he's rooting for is winning. What sets Corneous apart from nastier dragons who revel in violence is the way he laughs: he sounds like he's heard an extremely funny joke. He also laughs at extremely funny jokes, and he is happy to lay out why the joke is funny, after which he laughs harder. He has yet to get the hang of "personal space".
