Skywing Dragons spend most of their lives flying in the air. They hunt from the air, diving at prey from above, and land only to rest. They are some of the fastest fliers, capable of extremely high speeds. The webbing at the end of the tail acts as a rudder, allowing them to easily change direction during flight.

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.

Pierce the Sky is a Skywing of order and command, and others have to hold him back when he is angered.  As such, most of the other dragons in the cave prefer to stay away from him.  Despite ShinyKendo's tireless efforts to breed them, Pierce simply refuses to befriend CBS.  He thinks CBS is a stupid dragon, probably due to the spastic way she flies.  Nighttime Sun shows a soft spot for him, but Pierce often refuses to be seen near him.
