Brute Dragons are among the larger dragon breeds. They prefer to live in solitude or small groups, nesting in high, mountainous regions. The only time they openly seek the company of others is during the mating season, when males will fight for the attention of females. The thunderous crash of Brute Dragons butting horns against each other in competition for mates can be heard nearly a mile away.

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.

Bearger behaves like a bear and a badger, at the same time. Bears are stocky and shaggy and strong, and badgers have big, digging claws and can eat scary critters. Bearger is the best of both. She lumbers around in a way that would make her poppy proud, and when aggravated, she will either pound the ground or swipe at whoever's chosen to be her enemy. She's also quite a big eater and will nose into humans' food stores, like bears do. If there's no food around and Bearger doesn't feel like hunting herself, she'll just follow the humans around. Most brutes don't think her personality is very attractive.
