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.

Byron will insist that he disagrees with his flight's bloodthirsty ways, yet still he stays and, as a marauder, frees gemstones and precious metals from their humans to deliver them to their "rightful owners," also known as dragons. He simply can't help it; there is just something about glittering topaz and opals that makes it all right in the end just so long as he gets his fair share of the loot. When not off marauding, however, he is quite vocal about all the violence committed in the name of the flight. The others roll their eyes at him and his hypocrisy and wait for him to leave before they continue setting villages on fire.
