Royal Crimson Dragons are so named due to their massive size and confident, regal bearing. Most of the time they are laid back, ignoring non-prey creatures smaller than themselves, although they will occasionally take fresh kills from other dragons as a reminder of their place in the social order. Although there are few other dragons large enough to pose a threat to Royal Crimsons, they have little tolerance for potential rivals and will fiercely defend their territory from such intruders.

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.

A proud, confident dragon, Magma Royale is the cave's 'ruler.' He likes to think he is the king of the cave, but he rarely talks to others, and often will go out and fly alone or hunt by himself. Thus his 'rule' is nothing more than big talk. He doesn't even allow StarNight to touch him, and while this aggravates StarNight very much, she is still proud to have him in the cave. She hopes to get him a mate one day that he can relate to and make nice baby dragons with.
