Ember Dragons have a great affinity for hot environments. While they themselves are not hot to the touch, their tendency to lurk amongst smoldering ashes has caused many to believe they are fire-starters. Their dully glowing markings serve many purposes: acting as a means of identification between individuals, as an important part of mating displays, and as a way of showing aggression. The long, low build of the breed makes them ungainly in flight, and the thick fleshy membranes of their wings hinder them further. As such, it is rare to see an Ember Dragon take to the air. Ember Dragons are also not particularly sociable; females tend to be defensive, whereas males are more aggressive. Once they have settled with a particular group of dragons, Ember Dragons are incredibly loyal and will defend their pack by any means possible.

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.

La'Harr lives quite happily within a small pack of other Embers. They reside in a cave in the side of a volcano. Not the safest place to live, probably, but embers just love heat and the pack have spent many hours excavating and shoring up their lair to make it comfortable. La'Harr is the hunter of the group along with a few others. Together they descend into the forest below to hunt deer and wild boar, their long muscular bodies perfect for overtaking such strong and fast prey. A good trick La'Harr uses is to climb up on one of the many ridges and glide down and then drop suddenly with all her weight into an unsuspecting animal.
