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.

Fierce and strong, easy words to describe a dragon such as Kerredan. But there is a gentler side to him, especially when he chats with "'Carta", the paper dragon. The little dragon amuses him, and keeps him from being lonely during the time he spends at the cave. Otherwise he spends his time hunting prey and thinking about a future with a lady dragon that he has yet to meet.
