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.

Igniting has a little bit of a problem with control. When she starts to laugh, it's not just air that comes out, it's flames too. This was noticed when she was a hatchling, and many of the older dragons of Nadat's cave tried to train it out of her. Finally, after many attempts had failed and new suggestions were getting extreme, Baigon, the guardian dragon, stepped in and told everyone to stop. Since then, Igniting has looked up to Baigon and tried to control her flames. She still winds up starting a lot of small fires around the cave, but the others have the small comfort of the fact that Igniting is working on it.
