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.

Aka'ula Kanakunui is the strongest dragon in his masters family. Unlike Caetra, who relies on defense to protect his family, Aka'ula is more into the offensive approach. He is a true warrior, but looks down on dragons he considers weak. One dragon in particular is Iakona, who always looks for a peaceful solution. This causes Aka'ula to constantly harrass Iakona, which in terms puts him at odds with Caetra...though he has a grudging respect for Caetra for always willing to fight whenever he's needed. Because he's the strongest of the dragons and he has a hard time getting along with others, his master put him in charge of guarding the inside of the cave which holds all their valuable treasures, while Brutus guards the outside.
