Cavern Lurker Dragons are nocturnal ambush predators. Although small, they are very aggressive and will attack anything weak enough to be overpowered. Their preferred method of hunting is to lie in wait in a cave, burrow, or other small, enclosed space; when any potential prey passes they will lunge out to grab hold of the unsuspecting victim and drag it back into the lair. Cavern Lurkers have an odd aversion to sunlight and almost never venture out during the day. More commonly sighted are the odd piles of bones they stack near the entrance to their dens. Their mating call is a low-pitched bumping noise.

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.

Illileth is a cunning night terror of a dragon from whom the wicked and awful rumors of vicious cold-blooded killers stem. Guilt and compassion are foreign concepts to her. Once nightfall arrives, her exceptionally keen eyesight permits her to thrive as a predator. The initial attack always comes as a surprise, given its blunt savagery paired with her lack of sheer mass and the stealth it brings. Her toothy, fiendish grin is usually the last thing of this world seen by her unsuspecting victims before claw meets bone and Illileth, the barbaric, feisty, sadist of a dragon consumes their viscera.
