Yellow-Crowned Dragons are found in the hottest, driest regions of the desert. Although they thrive in these conditions, they do very poorly in cold or humid climates. These dragons are very fast fliers and skilled hunters, and usually feed on small, quick desert antelope. Yellow-Crowned Dragons are diurnal, and spend the night in underground burrows they dig or steal from other creatures. They are often seen out sunning themselves in the early morning sun, waiting for the heat of the day to set in.

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.

Grill and Bar behaves in ways that others can only consider "fancy"—she is well-groomed with a choosy palate, and she is also rather mysterious. When she has the resources, she likes to prepare food using a number of techniques and ingredients. They're a lot of trouble to make but look exquisite and taste phenomenal. She is fond of accompanying her antelope with rare portobello mushrooms, carrot cake that resembles air in every way, and wheat and wheat by-products. Her district banned the last two items after all of the wheat and wheat by-products turned into venomous snakes and then into destructive and malevolent spirits. Both transformations were thought to be a large-scale magical prank that probably won't happen again, but wheat and wheat by-products remain forbidden indefinitely. Grill and Bar still hasn't come to terms with that ban, but she's making do as best as she can.
