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.

Fearsome, Philomortus roars

Or makes great noise by shattering rocks

Then descends on candy stores:

.

Like some freakish cat, he stalks

Through the Lloyprij market stalls

Then, he buys a massive box

.

Of dainty little chocolate balls.

Despite his show, his fearsome scowl

And his constant need to brawl,

.

He is always on the prowl

For delicate and sweet desserts.

He's been known to disembowel

.

Those who tease his shopping spurts

Particularly petite fours

"The best of candies", he asserts.
