Frilled Dragons are smaller than most other breeds, but when threatened, they stretch out their wings and frills to appear larger. They generally do not like to fight and prefer hiding to confrontation. Frilled dragons live in small groups and often band together to scare off potential threats. Males also use their frills as a way to attract mates, with those displaying the “best” frills being more likely to breed.

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.

Indulgent and caring, Elrico prizes his mate above all else. He knows how Meleandra mistakes the pygmies for hatchlings, and how sometimes she may be a tad forgetful in her old age, but Elrico got the scare of her life when he saw her engulfed in flames fighting a red dragon, and he's sworn never to let her out of his sight again. Overprotective he may be however, anyone could see that he too dearly loves all the children in their clan—probably because he knows it is quite impossible for him and his mate to have any future litters.
