Cavern Lurker Dragons are nocturnal ambush predators. Although small, they are very aggressive and will attack anything weak enough to be overpowered. Their preferred method of hunting is to lie in wait in a cave, burrow, or other small, enclosed space; when any potential prey passes they will lunge out to grab hold of the unsuspecting victim and drag it back into the lair. Cavern Lurkers have an odd aversion to sunlight and almost never venture out during the day. More commonly sighted are the odd piles of bones they stack near the entrance to their dens. Their mating call is a low-pitched bumping noise.

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.

Amarasun has only a little bit of agoraphobia, so when Noiric goes for walks through Nworset City he has been known to go with her. It is easier for him on dark nights, but since his mate loves Cirion so much he also follows her when the blue moon is shining brightly. He hates being stared at, but foreigners who have never seen a cavern lurker outside often give him and golden Noiric long looks. He is over-conscious about it, but she will warn them when he gets too uncomfortable, so as long as she is near, he feels he doesn't need to fear the outside.
