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.

When Thelonious hatched, the first thing he saw was his human caretaker, whom he immediately decided was his parent. For most of his time as a hatchling he and his parent were inseparable, and in response to the love and attention that he received when he was young he grew into a confident, outgoing adult with a love of other dragons and humans alike. He is especially fond of hatchlings and, along with his friend Wesley, cares for the young dragons in the cave, hunting food for them, playing with them and watching them, making sure that they don't get into any mischief. However, he is very protective of his charges, and it would be a grave mistake to try to harm a hatchling in his care. Anyone who comes to his cave in peace can expect to be welcomed with open arms.
