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.

Draikoor belongs to an ember dragon pack in the Dusk Divide Dragon Keep who call themselves the Coal Guard. He follows orders and defends his pack with his life, only because his life doesn't matter when everyone is doomed. He is the voice of pessimism, counting off all the ways something can and will go wrong. He'll rattle this list off all the time as almost his only expression of speech.

His omega position in the pack has led to him being downtrodden and antisocial. His self-deprecating attitude annoys his nebula mate Esterlle to no end, who tries to bring him out of it by teasing him for his 'realism'. As for him, he is smitten and subservient to his mate, exasperating her further.
