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.

Crimson Tailflight is an albino dragon—the butt of every joke and insult. Crimson would cry out into the night sky, asking why her skin color mattered. Even if she was discouraged and dishearted, she still had a good heart and helped other dragons. She would never receive a thanks, but rather an insult or a blow. When the Datamonster invaded the caves, Crimson was the one who reassured others that everything would be alright. Had it not been for her, many dragons would have panicked and be eaten by the monster. The insults and blows soon died down and she was left alone with very few friends, most of them in her own homely cave.
