Yellow-Crowned Dragons are found in the hottest, driest regions of the desert. Although they thrive in these conditions, they do very poorly in cold or humid climates. These dragons are very fast fliers and skilled hunters, and usually feed on small, quick desert antelope. Yellow-Crowned Dragons are diurnal, and spend the night in underground burrows they dig or steal from other creatures. They are often seen out sunning themselves in the early morning sun, waiting for the heat of the day to set in.

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.

Like all Yellow Crowns in the clan, Stew loves nothing more than the taste of feline meat. His favourite recipe is a soup made with several different breeds of felines including but not limited to lynx, ocelot, and leopard. He claims the soup gets better with each passing day it is kept hot over the fire. Of course one has to add new meat and other ingredients from time to time, but he is still eating the same stew his mother has started when he had just grown his wings. And it's delicious.
