Sandwaste Dragons are sparsely distributed across very hot, sandy, dry deserts. They grow to large sizes, but very slowly, and they are well adapted to the harshness of the desert, being capable of surviving for long periods with very little water and food. They are constantly on the hunt for prey large enough to sate them, catching it mostly by ambush or, rarely, running it down. However, Sandwaste dragons are opportunistic and will not shun carrion, insects, and even plants when desperate. They are solitary and nomadic and build no lasting bonds with one another, though there is little animosity among Sandwaste dragons when they encounter each other.

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.

That's a bore is smaller than the average sandwaste, though she isn't aware of that due to her solitary nature. Any comparisons to other dragons are hard to notice when one isn't around other dragons very much. While she likes to hang around and chat whenever she encounters another sandwaste dragon, she doesn't want to make the other individual uncomfortable, so they quickly part ways. That's a bore really would like to join one of the desert clans or move into one of the settlements, but she would have to find enough food to sustain herself, and she thinks any dragons smaller than her would be afraid she's going to eat them.
