Black Capped Teimarr are a small and sociable breed of dragon with an appetite for seafood. They can commonly be seen flitting around sand dunes and tidal marshes, searching for crabs and other aquatic invertebrates, or cavorting in tidal pools in hopes of finding landlocked fish. Because of their large wing-to-body size, they are excellent long distance fliers and are known to migrate hundreds of miles along coastlines, or even across open sea to outlying islands in search of seasonal delicacies such as bird eggs, fledglings and schooling bait fish. The males are easily distinguished by their large jousting horns and their extendable neck frill, which they show off to the females through enthusiastic head bobbing.

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.

Eamon Yanowitz's mood may flicker like that of a candle caught in a storm, but his friends and clanmembers can always depend on him. Whether it's for love, food, wealth, or simply to lend a helping hand, Eamon is known for coming through in a pinch. One of the less fortunate traits of Eamon is that he can become resentful and petulant rather quickly. If he feels that he's been slighted in some way (whether real or imagined), he'll likely let the resentment he feels build up inside until it finally explodes. The trouble is that nearly anything can make him feel resentful. He has a incredibly fertile imagination, and when he is not using this creativity in a productive manner, he can sometimes use his talents destructively. His friends wait until he snaps out of it and returns to normal. One of the positives is that Eamon is a dragon of action. At a moment's notice, he will immediately spring into action to right a wrong. It seems that he easily angers because he is so idealistic.
