Harvest Dragons are a large, flightless breed most often found in heavily forested mountains. Normally shy, these omnivorous dragons keep to themselves in remote regions, but in the fall they descend from their high territory to search for food—and lots of it. During the autumn months, harvest dragons will eat whatever they can find, from large and small animals to nuts and fruit. In the winter they retreat into large caves and hibernate until spring, living off the fat they have built up.

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.

Morris embraces consequentialism when dealing with problems; he rids the problem by whatever means is best, and worry about the consequences later, as long as what you have done is for the greater good. His sense of right and wrong are clearly defined, and to him there is no moral gray area, which leads to some problems with dragons that don't share his viewpoint. Thieves are often punished by a swift smack of his giant claws, and attacking any other dragon in the cave is unacceptable to him without just cause.
