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.

Morzavur is aware of dragons' saying how lucky he and his kind are, being able to find food wherever, no matter what situation he's in. Morzavur himself doesn't think he's all that lucky, because sometimes there's something on his mind that he'd rather eat above all other options, and he isn't satisfied until he's eaten what he craves.

He's always ready to protect his pack, though there are certain dragons that have stronger connections with him than others, such as Kelcys. The way she smells keeps him close to her, and her patience and understanding have also convinced him to be by her side when in need, or even when he isn't in need he's always there for her. He's mostly unapproachable because of his aggressive behavior. Kelcys, when Morzavur is around, reassures him that everything is okay and asks for him to step back, at least for a while. He does have his moments of being rather controlling of Kelcys which can be a problem if someone doesn't put him in his place.
