Ember Dragons have a great affinity for hot environments. While they themselves are not hot to the touch, their tendency to lurk amongst smoldering ashes has caused many to believe they are fire-starters. Their dully glowing markings serve many purposes: acting as a means of identification between individuals, as an important part of mating displays, and as a way of showing aggression. The long, low build of the breed makes them ungainly in flight, and the thick fleshy membranes of their wings hinder them further. As such, it is rare to see an Ember Dragon take to the air. Ember Dragons are also not particularly sociable; females tend to be defensive, whereas males are more aggressive. Once they have settled with a particular group of dragons, Ember Dragons are incredibly loyal and will defend their pack by any means possible.

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.

Gogemar is a very masculine Ember dragon, and seems to have a motherly love towards most of the dragons she chooses to spend time with. But most of all, a younger Lumina Dragon by the name of Resetts seems to be her most fancied companion to which she shares a maternal bond although the two of them aren't genetically related. Gogemar seems to take on most attributes of a male Ember Dragon, being territorial and spending most of her time scavenging food or tending to her young, a Yellow-Crowned Dragon by the name of Hocrogg, being her eldest. Aside from scavenging and tending to her pack, Gogemar very much enjoys sleeping, which is the activity she is most commonly seen doing.
