Despite their massive size, Lacula Dragons are supremely stealthy creatures that rely on cunning wit to overcome the disadvantage of their large, flightless bodies. These dragons carve their homes into wet caves along the shores of sea cliffs, and use their resourcefulness to trap prey into the corners of large labyrinths of their own design. Typical prey often includes other dragons of medium size, but Lacula Dragons have been known to overcome larger creatures through sheer ambition and force of will. Their bite is often fatal to smaller creatures due to the potent venom in their hooked fangs, which is capable of paralyzing even the largest of adversaries. Although these dragons are solitary in nature and only meet for breeding purposes, a Lacula may be convinced to share its territory with another dragon if advantageous. In this case, the bonds a Lacula forms are everlasting, and any companions of a Lacula should count themselves lucky to have such a dragon willing to protect them.

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.

The rumours of treasure on Cyanhart Peak draw a steady stream of adventurers, and HIR4Y is one of several dragons who takes advantage of the foolhardiness of humans. Rixdwill and Zirqueh, the ancient cavern lurkers, are only interested in the meat and bones, so HIR4Y has a deal with them to take the arms and armour they have no use for, repair it if necessary, and resell it to the next set of treasure-hunters at a profit. He raises goats for personal use, so the sole purpose of this money-making endeavour is so that he can afford to purchase tickets to stickwaterball games. He absolutely adores the sport and screams "HIR4Y!" when he sees a beautiful play. When he can't afford to go to games in-person, he has a magical mirror which he can tune to view games from afar, so long as someone is sending out the mana-signals. Fortunately, the Blusang Broadcasting Coalition has a sportscaster whose job it is to broadcast live sporting events.
