Brute Dragons are among the larger dragon breeds. They prefer to live in solitude or small groups, nesting in high, mountainous regions. The only time they openly seek the company of others is during the mating season, when males will fight for the attention of females. The thunderous crash of Brute Dragons butting horns against each other in competition for mates can be heard nearly a mile away.

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.

Will is different from other Brute Dragons and doesn't like fighting. Despite his ferocious appearance, he is a kind dragon who gets embarrassed easily. When mating season occurs and other Brute Dragons fight for mates, Will tries to stay out of the way. He also prefers the company of other dragons over solitude in the mountains. Will spends his time playing with and telling stories to younger dragons. When other dragons get afraid of him because of his appearance, Will gets nervous and attempts to convince them that he is friendly. If anyone tries to hurt his friends, though, he will attack mercilessly.
