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.

Even though Cerollin looks fierce, he is probably the pansiest dragon in the cave. Rather than fighting or hunting, he would much rather stay at home and take care of Ulua and the hatchlings like Rayazaar. Because of this, there is some tension between the two but both recognize the other's feelings towards the weaker. Cerollin is by no means weak, however. He often stages play-fights with the hatchlings in order to teach them how to defend themselves. He often has to be forced to go hunting and leave the warmth of the hatchlings that tend to climb all over him.
