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.

Nikma stays airborne all the time, touching down only to lay an egg and give it to 'Lady'. She travels many places, and has made alliance with a Gray Dragon, Black Heal, so she may sleep on the clouds. Many know her as kind and generous, thought they have never seen her. She has brought back items from her trips to give to her tamer to give to the other Dragons in the area. Nikma is one of the first Dragons her tamer ever had, so she is good friends with Kaya Vix. Not many have seen her, but many honor her.
