Fell Dragons are a primitive, fractious breed. They are born small but grow astonishingly quickly throughout their adolescence, and constant hunger inspires them to eat nearly anything that can be made to fit into their mouths. Legend has it that they never completely stop growing at all. Adult Fell Dragons are massive juggernauts: a diet rich in minerals and metals harvested from the earth helps them grow a dense, scaly carapace along their backs and toughens their thick hides, while their wickedly sharp claws and the bony, ax-like crest on their heads are well-suited for both hunting and physical combat. Though few Fell Dragons have crossed paths in the wild due to their primarily solitary nature, it is said that their thunderous disputes can be heard—and felt—for miles around.

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.

Shokesht is constantly on the move. Where there is food to be had, she brings not only herself but a sizable train of tag-alongs, mostly small wyverns and the occasional pygmy dragon. She has been known to wipe small farms entirely off the map, successfully repelled only by such methods as can bypass the variable swarm of scavengers that cling onto her back plates.

She doesn't seem to mind her back being used as a passenger bus so long as her followers don't try to hurt, steer or steal from her. There have been incidents in which she's turned troublemakers into easy meals for herself and her 'flock', either by crushing them under her immense snout and paws or letting her buddies do the dirty work.
