Ember Dragons have a great affinity for hot environments. While they themselves are not hot to the touch, their tendency to lurk amongst smoldering ashes has caused many to believe they are fire-starters. Their dully glowing markings serve many purposes: acting as a means of identification between individuals, as an important part of mating displays, and as a way of showing aggression. The long, low build of the breed makes them ungainly in flight, and the thick fleshy membranes of their wings hinder them further. As such, it is rare to see an Ember Dragon take to the air. Ember Dragons are also not particularly sociable; females tend to be defensive, whereas males are more aggressive. Once they have settled with a particular group of dragons, Ember Dragons are incredibly loyal and will defend their pack by any means possible.

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.

Disinhibition tries not to interact with anyone else in the territory, and people tend to know what kind of dragon she is and don't bother talking with her, either. To her surprise, though, there's the occasional person who insists on getting to know her, to whom she throws every single insult she can think of. She actually befriended a blacktip this way: he's a total oddball because not only was he stupid enough to bother Disinhibition, his kind should not be able to survive in this volcanic environment. But here he is, and no matter what Disinhibition does, he seems to find her "hot". She's glad that he's decided to stick around, but she still enjoys thinking up mean things to say to him.
