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.

Brawn, the Dragons' demolitions expert, is amazingly strong for his size, and a bit aggressive at times. Due to his small stature, he often attempts to overcompensate by playing up his macho personality. He can be somewhat of a bully, and looks down on noncombatant dragons. He has a ready, though slightly sarcastic, sense of humor, and a lot of chutzpah. In addition to his great strength, Brawn is also so tough as to be almost indestructible... almost.
