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.

As one of the large portion of Reds that chose to stay in the main cave with Preto Osso instead of deviating to the lava field, Smoldering Lavastone has stayed firm with her decision despite the occasional jeers from Blaze Glassweaver whenever she reports to the Alpha.

She is second only to Vulcanica Earthtrembler in matriarchal sternness, despite the difference in the amount of children they've raised.  However, even with their striking similarities, Lavastone and Vulcanica do not get on, and although they chatter sweetly to each other if they can't avoid meeting up (as ladies do), they much prefer to give each other a wide berth at all times.

She has an unusual knack for toasting large insects to perfection as treats for hatchlings, which she idly learned after becoming the mate of Ridiculous Tangy Orangerine, a White Stripe with a love for the frequent treats.
