Yellow-Crowned Dragons are found in the hottest, driest regions of the desert. Although they thrive in these conditions, they do very poorly in cold or humid climates. These dragons are very fast fliers and skilled hunters, and usually feed on small, quick desert antelope. Yellow-Crowned Dragons are diurnal, and spend the night in underground burrows they dig or steal from other creatures. They are often seen out sunning themselves in the early morning sun, waiting for the heat of the day to set in.

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.

Left to his own devices, Hanar can fend for himself. He is, however, rather small for his breed, so he prefers to hunt with other dragons. He is not picky about who he joins up with and will often switch groups at a moment's notice if something about another group of dragons interests him. Hanar has worked with nearly every desert breed at one point or another in his life. His favorite are the Sunstone dragons since they have a hierarchy that Hanar considers rather unique and fascinating.
