Anagallis Dragons are a medium-sized omnivorous breed. Widespread and adaptable, their easygoing nature enables them to flourish under most conditions. They are social creatures, fun-loving and outgoing, and will readily defend smaller dragons from others’ aggression. They are fond of sunshine, and can often be found basking on rocks; on cloudy or stormy days they are more reluctant to venture out, and will often hide themselves away until the weather is more favorable.

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.

Hodgesaargh is a scarred, sometimes bleeding, one-horned dragon who keeps falcons and other birds of prey. Usually, when he talks to someone or moves his attention off the bird on his arm, it will take that opportunity to peck some scales off him. Nevertheless, he isn't interested in settling with a spouse because he loves his job and his birds more than anything else. They do not love him, which is unfortunate but the natural order of things. They're predators with sharp beaks and claws for a reason, and the reason is "to hurt Hodgesaargh". All of his birds, save for the meek and short-sighted lappet-faced worrier, have taken a liking to causing harm to him, though getting injured repeatedly does not have any effect on his hopeful, positive attitude.
