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.

Acting the Goat got his name by the way be behaves. He is always getting into fights that could easily be avoided. Some dragons wonder if he has any brains at all him his big head. He often challenges much larger dragons to fights which he almost always loses. When he loses, he either grunts and walks off, or if he can't, some motherly dragon will bring him back to his nest, while chiding him about "acting the goat".
