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.

Keathon is the main shriek-watcher since he hatched alongside Graxaw. He sits under a shady overhang and patiently waits for either a large prey or intruder. He shrieks once for prey, and repeatedly for intruder alerts. Keathon coats himself in thick mud to help camouflage himself, but also to help protect himself from the sun's harmful rays. He thoroughly enjoys hanging out with the lady dragons.
