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.

Adam Red Fire appeared in the Verdant Valley, billowing flame and smoke, and bellowing with laughter. His good nature glowed around him and he was readily welcomed into the community. While the flat floor of the valley is lush and productive, he quickly settled in the Southern Volcano, building a Weyr to become home to many Red, Nocturne, Ember and other dragons, while still centering around Mentha Verdant's Mint Garden and School for Hatchlings. Becoming fast friends with Dark Paris, O'Neill, Bra'tac, Teal'c and other fierce defenders of the community, he also loves the art, stories and songs that flow from Mentha's garden. He seems to have quietly paired with Lyricist, the beautiful and mysterious Nocturne, with many talented young Red and Nocturne Dragons graduating from the Verdant School.
