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.

Scion of the Terrible Visage is a sweet-tempered dragon who is fascinated by the goings-on around the cave complex where she lives.  She has a soft spot for eggs and hatchlings, and she loves to tend to them and watch them grow.  The thing she wants more than anything else is a large brood that she can tend.  However, her wish to become a mother has been stifled in recent years as she has had difficulty in finding a suitable mate.  Also, she has noticed a weird and disturbing trend in her cave complex where eggs are left to themselves, untended, until the poor hatchlings within them expire from lack of care, leaving only smashed eggshells and sad little corpses.  She desperately wants to discover why such tragedies are occurring in her cave, and she will do whatever it takes to stop them.
