Brute Dragons are among the larger dragon breeds. They prefer to live in solitude or small groups, nesting in high, mountainous regions. The only time they openly seek the company of others is during the mating season, when males will fight for the attention of females. The thunderous crash of Brute Dragons butting horns against each other in competition for mates can be heard nearly a mile away.

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.

"Nobody would believe us anyway" pointed out the first farmer. "I saw it and I don't believe it."

Alisander, a Brute dragon with a reputation for violence and bloodshed, had come skipping through the field singing a song about flowers and rainbows. As he had passed the two farmers he had given them a deep bow and a little jig before continuing on his way. It had taken the farmers a few moments to process what they had just witnessed.

"Maybe he upset one of the Magi dragons" suggested the second farmer. "They can have some real strange ideas when it comes to retribution."

"I'm not telling the wife" insisted the first farmer. "She'd just hide all the whiskey again."
