Cavern Lurker Dragons are nocturnal ambush predators. Although small, they are very aggressive and will attack anything weak enough to be overpowered. Their preferred method of hunting is to lie in wait in a cave, burrow, or other small, enclosed space; when any potential prey passes they will lunge out to grab hold of the unsuspecting victim and drag it back into the lair. Cavern Lurkers have an odd aversion to sunlight and almost never venture out during the day. More commonly sighted are the odd piles of bones they stack near the entrance to their dens. Their mating call is a low-pitched bumping noise.

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.

While most dragons are content to hoard gold and gems and pretty baubles, Skull likes to hoard, well, skulls!  His habit started as a hatchling, when his keepers noticed that all of the carcasses from his food would mysteriously be missing their heads.  It was then that they discovered the piles of skulls that Skull was hoarding at the back of his cave.  As an adult, Skull still keeps his hoard, but he is much more organized now.  On occasion, however, he will trip over one and send the whole mess crashing down about his cave!
