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.

Tirraethe and her twin sister, Tirraetha, have always lived together, hiding in the darkest parts of the forest, preying on small creatures. Instead of having a permanent cave home, they were nomads, crawling from shadow to shadow, leaving trails of bones behind them. As they aged, they slowly graduated to larger prey, and even once killed a dragon egg.

Kaipe, a mint dragon to which the egg belonged, took out her rage on Tirraethe, and since then, both sisters nurse a deep grudge towards the dragon. Kaipe has been hiding with Ace of Fire, a Spitfire dragon who has befriended them.

So far, nothing has happened to Kaipe or Ace of Fire.

Yet.

While Tirraethe hass mostly primal anger, Tirraetha, the other sister, has more emotions, all still on the spectrum of rage. Tirraethe is the muscle, and Tirraetha is the brain.
