Caihong Dragons are mostly found at higher altitudes where they make their lairs in hard to reach crevasses and cliff faces. Their flaming plumage and ability to breathe fire have led to local legends about them having been born from the sun itself. Caihong Dragons are very social and cheerful dragons, often seeking people and dragons outside their own kind to accumulate ever more diverse treasures. Avid collectors of all things shiny, Caihong lairs are filled with trinkets, pretty rocks, glinting scales and their own gorgeous rainbow-like feathers. Hatchlings learn these hoarding behaviors early, and vie to collect their own starting hoards from what their parents bring back, as well as the fun game of trading treasures with their clutch mates. It is said a Caihong never forgets the face of someone who has wronged them, and they are often associated so closely with honesty and faithfulness that adornments of their feathers can be found in places of reputable business and carried by those who emphasize good morals.

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.

Fulmicotton says that when someone gets a hold of her flames, say, by putting a torch to her until it lights, her fire is to be used for lighting of firecrackers and cooking of shiitake. Okay, people can use her fire for anything, really, but she likes to decree it be used for something specific. In fact, if her guests bring along some shiny presents to trade for fire and feathers, they can do whatever they want (so long as that activity is not harming her or anything in her home), since it seems rather rude to get something out of the deal AND also expect additional demands be met. According to reports, a lot of people do obey her wishes, perhaps out of a sense of responsibility or something. Sometimes, they bring Fulmicotton unlit firecrackers and shiitake as gifts, but since those tend not to be shiny, she doesn't like them and just gives them to her neighbors.
