Plated Colossus Dragons are one of the largest dragon species. These huge brutes are notorious bullies—they prefer to steal food from other dragons rather than finding it for themselves. As their thick hides are impervious to most forms of physical attack, Plated Colossi simply ignore the other dragons’ protests, or lash the offending dragon with their club-like tail, which can easily break a limb. Plated Colossi have slow metabolisms and do not need to eat often, but they may consume nearly half their body weight in one feeding. These dragons are not incredibly clever and any discussion with them will often center around eating.

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.

To Trump, quality is everything, and size equals quality. Trump describes himself as the largest dragon at the Breedery. He isn't, and deep down he knows it, but he dismisses the stone dragons as 'more like magical statues than dragons', and he doesn't even know about Faultslip's clan of deep-dwelling earth dragons. The Plated Colossus has claimed the largest, highest-elevation cavern system in the spire for his personal lair. The innermost chambers hold his hoard—mostly huge piles of gems and gold coins, plus an ever-growing collection of the tackiest possible jewelry and objets d'art. If it's made of pure gold, encrusted in rare jewels, and stupidly gigantic, Trump wants it. Because he sleeps on his piles of treasure, gems and coins are permanently stuck between some of his scales. Trump's favorite hobby is, naturally, talking about himself. Like most boorish narcissists, he is completely unaware of being a boorish narcissist. Everyone loves him and wants to be him. Obviously.
