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.

Like all of her kind, she only comes to life after the sun sets. Yet, unlike the others, she despises her life in the shadows, viewing it as a curse upon herself. She wishes to meet a dragon she loves, a charming Daydream, whom she has observed many times from afar but never approached. For her, the Daydream is everything she will never be; a radiant, joyful creature, innocent and filled with a love of life that she can't fully understand. Terrified of rejection, she settles for watching him sleep each night, but always leaves once the first rays of the sun enter the cave. Deep down, she knows that one day she won't hide, that she'll let the sun burn her away instead of continuing her joyless life.
