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.

Lurk is not so much of a chasing hunter than a lurking predator, which he has in common with most of his favourite prey, feline carnivours. Which of course leads to very absurd situations when Lurk and his potential prey lie just a few feet away from each other unaware, both waiting for potential food to show themselves for hours at an end.

Many a leopard has gone home hungry at night not aware of the fact that that exact hunger probably saved its life. On the other hand, a very clever group of gazelles has taken upon grazing close to Lurk's favourite spots, having learned that any huge cat trying to eat them there will most likely become dinner themselves.
