Red Dragons are similar to typical story book dragons. They shoot flames, can fly, etc. However, they aren’t evil creatures as depicted in myths and won’t go around raiding castles, killing knights, or kidnapping princesses. They live in a variety of habitats, from forests to coastlines to abandoned castles, usually in warm climates, and eat whatever living creatures they can find.

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.

Minalrito was the second of Lorraine's captures to hatch, but made up for lost time and was the first to grow to maturity.  Since then, he has loudly lorded over all her other dragons, roaring often and threatening fire when another crosses him.  He is mostly humored and ignored, but Dust Eater has been known to attack him out of sheer irritation.  Minalrito's greatest confusion is over the two-headed dragon Si'cani, whose heads he has seen fight each other; he doesn't understand how she neither needs him to mate nor to fight with, and the red occasionally goes into a depression over this perplexity.
