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.

Specter of Imminent Death swoops around towns, behaves menacingly, and shoots fire from their mouth and nostrils because those are things that proper dragons Do (capital D because this is very important to her). He loves a good roast and a good magic show, and both occurring at once is doubly fun. Whenever she comes in contact with humans, it demands a young sacrifice to be left before his lair (like a good dragon Does), although it doesn't seem to enforce this rule. After all, becoming the enemy of a bunch of stubborn apes armed with magic and pointy sticks is not conducive to long-term survival. She simply tells them that their behavior has pleased the supreme Specter, so he will "call off" the sacrificial event. She is a vicious but also reasonable and forgiving dragon, but the humans would do well to stay in line in case it changes its mind. Specter is fluent in the humans' language but does not care for your puny pronouns. She transcends pronouns. It uses whatever terms he wants.
