Brute Dragons are among the larger dragon breeds. They prefer to live in solitude or small groups, nesting in high, mountainous regions. The only time they openly seek the company of others is during the mating season, when males will fight for the attention of females. The thunderous crash of Brute Dragons butting horns against each other in competition for mates can be heard nearly a mile away.

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.

Scemriel enjoys fighting, but he's not particularly good at it--and, to his dismay, his childhood sweetheart knows it. When they first reached adulthood and he sought to cement their bond, she sighed, clapped a paw on his shoulder, and said: "Look, Scem, you're awful cute, but you're also kind of a giant wussy baby. Not sure you can be my egg daddy."

At which point she went off to seek other males and Scemriel sobbed and sobbed for hours. But he wasn't yet defeated, and he soon ran off in pursuit.

What he did next worked that year, and every year since. Convincing the love of his life that there was something totallyyy amazinggg on the other side of the mountain range, he led her off on an adventure that conveniently was far away from any other males and lasted until mating season was nearly over, leaving the frustrated female to take him as a mate at last. Happy from that day forward, he loves her passionately--and, much to his joy, she's resignedly realized she loves him as well.
