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.

Lyftfrican is a shy, quiet acrobat. He loves to coast and soar in the clouds, preforming flips and other tricks. Someday he hopes to find true love, and that she will love to fly with him. This shy dragon knows all about flying and fighting. The fact that faylady, his mistress, rides him every day and gives him love and attention are slowly getting him accustomed to other beings.

Be assured, Lyftfrican would never harm anything intentionally except in self-defense.

His mate, The Balrog of Lothlorian, is the only other dragon that he really loves. She is a great warrior and guard because of the fact that he has taught her all that he knows on the subject.
