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.

Name Them One by One likes to walk through the hatcheries in Lagie's caves and in neighbouring caverns, ooh'ing and ahh'ing over the eggs and naming them. "This one will be Bob. This one will be Fred. This one will be George." She has a tendency to give all the eggs male names and usually uses the same names over and over again, so Bob one day might be a magi and the next a ridgewing or a shimmer or some other breed. Since Name Them One by One is never there when the eggs hatch, the names she has given them are seldom to never used, but she doesn't realize that.
