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.

Redcrest has a much more brilliant hue of red scales than most red dragons, making him a popular potential mate for the females of the cave. Personality wise, he is somewhat shy and withdrawn, but care be lured out of his hiding place with a few rubies. Redcrest seems sensitive to the plight of other dragons and will often try to intervene if he feels something is wrong, but it's not easy for him; getting over his shyness isn't something that happens in a day.
