Plated Colossus Dragons are one of the largest dragon species. These huge brutes are notorious bullies—they prefer to steal food from other dragons rather than finding it for themselves. As their thick hides are impervious to most forms of physical attack, Plated Colossi simply ignore the other dragons’ protests, or lash the offending dragon with their club-like tail, which can easily break a limb. Plated Colossi have slow metabolisms and do not need to eat often, but they may consume nearly half their body weight in one feeding. These dragons are not incredibly clever and any discussion with them will often center around eating.

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.

True to his breed, this dragon has no qualms about going on destructive rampages when looking for food. Luckily, a small band of dragons calling themselves the 'Scouting Patrol' is watching out for the Plated Colossi that live in their owner's cave and are willing to fight to keep them from destroying anything (or eating anyone) important. Whenever he's not eating or stomping down castle walls, he spends his time in the forest, though no one save the others of his kind know the actual location of his lair.
