Pyralspite dragons are small, swift dragons that can breathe an intensely hot flame. They get their name from their resemblance to and affinity for garnets of the pyralspite family—they hoard such gems, preferring garnets that match their variant, and can tell the type of garnet from how it tastes. The dark red variant is known as Pyrope. They tend to be fiercely loyal and noble, and have a stronger sense of justice than other Pyralspites. They live primarily in volcanic areas.

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.

Infra is a very friendly and loyal dragon and is almost always seen following her owner at least three times a week. When she isn't following along, she is underground, searching and scorching her way to gems to add to her rather large collection. If she finds gems that aren't to her liking, she offers them to her owner, who then makes jewelry out of them. When she is targeted by a predator, or is hunting for some food, she uses her fiery breath to burn them, then simply pounces on them, clawing and biting until they stop moving.
