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.

According to Uruloke, red is the color of fire, blood, and passion. But actually, she is just trying very hard to live up to the reputation of her ancestors; the blood that is often seen dripping from her fangs and horns, is hardly ever that of a kidnapped princess, and most of her scars are not from fights. The truth is much more disturbing: Uruloke cuts herself, unable to cope with the expectations people have of red dragons.

Only a few other dragons know of Uruloke's problems. The cave's healer, Panacea Dorkface, will take care of Uruloke's wounds, but doesn't feel qualified to heal her spirit. Laurya Saga has not yet spoken on the issue (which might just mean that he doesn't dare to come close to Uruloke). Now all hope is on The Mintalist, the only dragon who fully understands Uruloke's troubled mind. One day perhaps the true Uruloke will be seen, and she will abandon her attempts at viciousness and stick with the one thing she knows deep in her heart: Red is the color of passion.
