Frilled Dragons are smaller than most other breeds, but when threatened, they stretch out their wings and frills to appear larger. They generally do not like to fight and prefer hiding to confrontation. Frilled dragons live in small groups and often band together to scare off potential threats. Males also use their frills as a way to attract mates, with those displaying the “best” frills being more likely to breed.

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.

Troutfish spends his time doing his best to stay out of everyone's way. He rarely raises his frills and wings up, for fear of causing the other dragons to attack him. Instead, he will hiss and snap when someone is getting too close, before making a swift getaway. He has an extreme distaste for humans, and will discreetly leave the scene whenever a visiting human enters the caves. He never admits that it was humans that had killed his parents many years ago, and that he had joined the clan to seek refugee. So far, he hasn't caused anyone any trouble, as most of the time, he fishes and hunts, and sunbathes by himself.
