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.

Anachronism of the Dusk Divide Keep is a very confused dragon. He mentions strange things like "buses" and "telephones", and when he tries to explain these things, the other dragons scoff because they are so blatantly impossible. His worst offense had to be his ravings about the "Internet", which had nothing to do with a fishing net and made no sense. Others shun and ignore him, although the hatchlings like listening to him. He has a mate in Encryption, the red nebula who is equally indecipherable.
