Red Dragons are similar to typical story book dragons. They shoot flames, can fly, etc. However, they aren’t evil creatures as depicted in myths and won’t go around raiding castles, killing knights, or kidnapping princesses. They live in a variety of habitats, from forests to coastlines to abandoned castles, usually in warm climates, and eat whatever living creatures they can find.

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.

Omaksai is a dragon with a fiery temper that doesn't hesitate in directing it to anything that angers her. She likes setting things on fire and staring at them until they burn, and though she has yet to use a living target for her hobby, other dragons tend to give her a wide berth when she's bored. However, a quick way of befriending her is also being interested in burning things. And her friends have the advantage that an angry fire-breathing dragon is a good bodyguard.
