Pyralspite dragons are small, swift dragons that can breathe an intensely hot flame. They get their name from their resemblance to and affinity for garnets of the pyralspite family—they hoard such gems, preferring garnets that match their variant, and can tell the type of garnet from how it tastes. The dark red variant is known as Pyrope. They tend to be fiercely loyal and noble, and have a stronger sense of justice than other Pyralspites. They live primarily in volcanic areas.

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.

Coral has some anger issues. He gets easily heated and is often caught shouting at those who have offended him. While he is certainly unpleasant, Coral is not violent. He prefers screaming at those around him as opposed to torching them, namely because his flame is quite weak. Coral really is all bark and no bite. He's fearsome and intimidating but has neither the physical strength, magical power, or searing fire to back it up. This usually leads to more frustration on his end. While he may be difficult to be around, it is possible to earn Coral's loyalty. If given enough patience, he will gradually bond with those willing to give him a chance. He's still a grump, no mistake, but he tends to treat his friends a lot better than his enemies. For one, he's quick to come to their aid. If he sees his friends getting harassed or bullied, out he'll come, screaming like mad and throwing the most vicious insults known in Valkemare. If there's one thing he can destroy, it's someone's pride.
