Red Dragons are similar to typical story book dragons. They shoot flames, can fly, etc. However, they aren’t evil creatures as depicted in myths and won’t go around raiding castles, killing knights, or kidnapping princesses. They live in a variety of habitats, from forests to coastlines to abandoned castles, usually in warm climates, and eat whatever living creatures they can find.

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.

Bobby Fischer is known as something of an anomaly among other dragons. He does not like to show off by flying around and breathing fire. Instead, he stays in his cave by himself and plays chess with a chess set he stole from a human. He studies the game obsessively, and he can beat any challenger. Once he traveled to the other side of the world and defeated the Soviet dragons, who are known as outstanding chess players, to win the title of World Champion.
