Ember Dragons have a great affinity for hot environments. While they themselves are not hot to the touch, their tendency to lurk amongst smoldering ashes has caused many to believe they are fire-starters. Their dully glowing markings serve many purposes: acting as a means of identification between individuals, as an important part of mating displays, and as a way of showing aggression. The long, low build of the breed makes them ungainly in flight, and the thick fleshy membranes of their wings hinder them further. As such, it is rare to see an Ember Dragon take to the air. Ember Dragons are also not particularly sociable; females tend to be defensive, whereas males are more aggressive. Once they have settled with a particular group of dragons, Ember Dragons are incredibly loyal and will defend their pack by any means possible.

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.

Halloween Princess of Fire is the mate of the Clan's famed leader, Autumn Lord of Fire. She likes to make little sculptures for the hatchlings out of melted metals. Once, a little white hatchling got a sculpture made out of gold. Some dragons donate their scales so she can melt them to make a sculpture for the hatchlings, and sometimes little hatchlings donate a small scale for a friend. This is especially common during the holidays, when all the dragons are busy getting, but mostly giving, gifts. Princess likes to run requesting sessions, where dragons and hatchlings alike all come to request a sculpture. She has only kept one sculpture, the sculpture of a heart that her mate gave to her when they first met. It was made from the melted scale of a tricolored Snow Angel dragon. She has treasured this one, and made similar hearts for other dragon couples.
