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.

It was on September 12th, the day he grew up, that Brrutus received a strange letter:

"Brrutus, my darling, you are all I could ever want. An angel kissed a star which fell to Earth. Upon it was written what I am about to say to you now, and burned upon my heart was your precious name. How my body sweats and trembles with desire when my thoughts turn to drinking the sweet nectar from your full lips, which is sweeter then the honey dripping from a fresh and delectable comb. I wish I could do nothing but stare at your beauty all day (besides eating, drinking and sleeping of course). That would be pure heaven for me! I will forever be thinking about you, and I love you with every beat from my aching, burning heart which will wither away and die without your sweet nectar-like words! Eternally loving you with flames of desire. XOXO"

It was odd, especially considering that the closest thing Brrutus had had to a friend was a rock he once sat on. (He'd had an itchy rump.)
