Albino Dragons are so named because their translucent, scale-less skin lacks all pigment. Instead, to help protect their bodies from the sun, they are coated in an oily secretion that blocks the sun’s harmful rays. The call of an albino dragon is similar to a barn owl--a shriek instead of a roar.

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.

Zuckerman is most well known for his pile of treasure, and he's always devising ways to get more, which typically involves betting how well other people's businesses will do and walking through town with his associates, hooting commands at them. He also wears formal attire and lives in a house, both of which would look a lot nicer if he could somehow control his oil output. Nevertheless, some special, powerful humans are perfectly happy to accept Zuckerman's donations, goopy or no. Most of the members of the public know he is greedy with his hoard, yet he happily gives some of it out to a select few. Humans who highly dislike him call him a "fat cat", but that's ignoring the fact that he's been working out, and he's also not a cat.
