Fire Gem Dragons are a colorful, flamboyant breed often found in hot climates, particularly around active volcanoes. Their broad tails store the flames they breathe, which are colored by the heavy amount of minerals in the water they drink. These dragons come in a variety of colors, and will collect shiny trinkets and stones that match their own coloration. Despite their hoarding tendencies, though, Fire Gem dragons are social and will often congregate in groups and show off their collections while fawning over the stones their friends and rivals have gathered, occasionally arranging trades.

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.

This dragon is allergic to hibiscus flowers that are common to the volcanic region where she lives. As a result, she often clears her throat and sounds a bit wheezy. If she gets too close to one of the flowers, her eyes get bleary and she cannot help but erupt in a powerful burst of flame. When she faces the offending bloom, she typically eliminates the source of her problem with her sneeze.

Lurgik prefers to live on a volcano that has recently erupted, to minimize the number of hibiscus flowers she may encounter.
