Grave Dragons are not named for their connections to death or burial, but for the grave expression on their faces. This strange expression is used as a defense mechanism that causes fits of panic and terror in potential predators. Since they only eat ash and charcoal, they do not hunt. Grave Dragons are powerful fire-breathers and have been known to burn down forests and villages alike to make meals. It is believed that the markings on each Grave Dragon’s wings are the faces of those who have lost their lives in fires started by that dragon.

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.

One of the many enthusiastic players of "kick the ball with your hindlegs" in the clan, Litti is one of the older players in the mixed Grave dragons' team. He is a rather offensive player who often manages to score "gaols" by kicking the ball between two "gallows" trapping it in a symbolic net—well poles really, but the KBH fans still use the traditional term that reminds them of the game's humble origins.

Litti is rather short and the hatchies often giggle about his bend hindlegs, but despite those physical shortcomings, he is very popular among the fans, not only because he is rather a good player but also because he is extremely loyal to his team.
