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.

Ziriqueh and his mate Rixdwill have begun stalking the base of Cyanhart Peak, a lone mountain in the Eastern Grasslands. The two are quite unfriendly to each other though, seeming to somehow base their love off of hating each other. They spend most of their time hanging out in crevices that look to be good shelter, hunting foolhardy adventurers who chase rumors of a great treasure that lies within the peak.

Zirqueh, when not hunting prey (or his mate) enjoys creating freakish skeletons out of mismatched bones. He can never find anything good to do with them, as bones by caverns warn adventurers away, so he usually hides them in crevices or places them on some of the safest routs up to make them seem more dangerous. It is not uncommon for him to assemble these things outside the cave his mate happens to be using, if only to try and stop her from catching anything good. He hates Ziriqueh's carved bones and shatters them when he chances across them.
