Hellhorse Dragons are foul-tempered, spirited creatures with tempestuous and violent dispositions. Torrents of scorching flames erupt from their bodies and can easily set their surroundings ablaze. Highly aggressive and territorial toward other dragon species, Hellhorses will tolerate others as long as they believe the association to be beneficial. Such alliances are tenuous in nature and frequently short-lived, as the slightest disagreement can easily escalate into a full-out brawl.

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.

There was not a reason to rescue this hellish dragon-mare from the crushing pile of abandoned eggs outside of the dragon cave. Almost punishingly, she has grown up into a viperous being and has become quite standoffish, refusing to accept any form of contact from anyone or anything. Zhaweldra spends most of her time patrolling, eating, and sleeping in her own sizable tract of dead, scorched grassland far away from her caretaker. Her toxic aura wards off any dragons or humans who try to cross or enter such land. Only coming home when she feels the need to steal food or mate with other dragons has resulted in the others actually forgetting about her existence. Zhaweldra has virtually no mothering instinct and will not agree to living in the same space as anyone, not even children! She had left her own eggs to die in the dead land and decided to stomp on them multiple times and engulf them in blue flames as she felt that offspring were "intrusive."
