Ridgewing Dragons live just below the snow level on the upper slopes of mountains. They are a friendly, playful breed and enjoy dancing in wind currents near their homes or plummeting down into valleys from great heights. Their wings, by far their most striking feature, grow in fin-like ridges along their backs. While their bodies lack markings to blend better with their surroundings, a ridgewing’s wings have bright markings in the colors of the flowers that grow in their mountain habitat. Occasionally different-colored individuals can be found, but they are rare because their striking coloring offers little protection.

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.

Mofubuki Hono Hikarugake, meaning Blizzard Flame of the Shimmering Cliffs Family, is a large and rather fiery dragon who loves to squabble with the locals and get into all kinds of trouble. He rarely, if ever, causes any kind of detrimental mischief, preferring instead the harmless and humorous pranks. The humans have become accustomed to his mischief and mostly ignore him, allowing his family members to come and chase him off. Yet still, it is a common sight to see him in the village center playing with the youth of the town.
