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.

Balthazar is a fierce and very strong dragon. He is very good friends with Antares and Romulus as well. This dragon loves lighting small fires in his clan's cave to warm them up on a cold day, and he will fight for his clan to the bitter end. Balthazar is a jolly dragon as well, with a hearty laugh and friendly spirit. His lifelong mate is Seneca.
