Brute Dragons are among the larger dragon breeds. They prefer to live in solitude or small groups, nesting in high, mountainous regions. The only time they openly seek the company of others is during the mating season, when males will fight for the attention of females. The thunderous crash of Brute Dragons butting horns against each other in competition for mates can be heard nearly a mile away.

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.

Glachia is, as most Brute Dragons are, a very simple and anti-social dragon. In fact, she has only a basic code, and it is as follows: if it is smaller and not a dragon or drake, it is food (though drakes are a debatable subject; why would she waste food unnecessarily). If it moves onto her territory and is not food, it is an intruder and must be dealt with. If it is intriguing and not alive, it is to be added to her hoard. If someone steals from her, hoard or food store, they will not live to see the next day.

Of course, this has some issues, as the second and final rules are followed blindly, often resulting in the death or ousting of a dragon who may actually be innocent. But Glachia doesn't particularly care for those details; so long as her code stands, she is content.
