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.

Proud and magnificent, Rubis is a typical storybook dragon, and with castles to capture and princesses to kidnap, many are jealous of his extravagant lifestyle. Preferring a roast deer to the scraps of flesh which cover princesses, Rubis kidnaps them for the company, bringing them back to his lair for days on end, then letting them 'escape', while he pretends to take a nap. Many Queens in the surrounding countries are used to him doing this, and have even been kidnapped by him when they were younger, so are not worried when they see their daughters vanishing into the sky on the back of a giant red dragon. Many dragons in the Clans worry about the consequences of this, fearing the humans might attack them, but none of them are brave enough to confront him. Rubis' most treasured possession is his hoard of gold, which he guards jealously, and if any princess attempts to take even a coin from his lair, a scorching snort of smoke from the sleeping dragon will quickly send them running.
