Dorsal Dragons are so named because they have large fins along their backs that can be raised and lowered at will. They use these fins to regulate body temperature; they raise them to cool off when they become overheated. The bright colors on the fins double as a means of attracting mates.

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.

Rhjkiukj is a gentle soul. Found slightly apart from her more common purple siblings, she is a stolen dragon. At first, she was shy, choosing to stay apart from the other dragons because her fins attracted a lot of attention. However, when she met Flient, her fears soon melted away as he taught her to care for the hatchlings and eggs, slowly coaxing her playful side out. Now, she loves to assist in the hatchery, caring for eggs and keeping them cool with her fins when things get too hot. When they grow up, she acts as a playmate and teaches them how to play nicely. Everyone is cool and happy when she is around.
