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.

Cygataz will continue to have an impact on human lives long after her name has been forgotten. While her life has been largely uneventful, she did have the good fortune to be nearby when an artist was looking for a model for a new coat of arms. The artist's rendition has been used since then for dozens of crests, shields, and the like, and while Cygataz likes the publicity, she jokes that she wishes the artist had captured her good side.
