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.

Vacant's name is rather accurate. This terrifying Sandwaste is little more than a feral beast without any sense of compassion or mercy. She is her mother's perfect killer, her best soldier. And, she uses her full potential. She is easily the strongest in her family, more than out-matching her father, Wasteland, even though she is significantly smaller. Vacant does not speak. She doesn't even communicate necessarily. The only sounds she makes are ear-bleedingly loud screeches she uses to intimidate targets. Otherwise, she is stone silent. She doesn't even seem to pay any mind to her siblings. The only one she follows is her mother, and she will do literally anything for her. Though seemingly invincible, Vacant can be easily outsmarted on her own. The key, however, is that she usually isn't alone, her siblings very often have her back. But, even in such formations, Vacant doesn't actually seem to work with them and will instead rely on them to follow her lead.
