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.

Zecho is one of the only Brutes in SL's cave to actually live in the mountains. He was born in the cave, but through stories and legends about the heights he grew to adore them, and eventually found a place to call home. However, his fellow Brute Dragons draw him back to the cave. They're the only ones that give him a true taste of family.

Quiet and irascible, Zecho often finds his patience wearing thin with the other dragons of the cave. They steer clear of him and his friends, but he sees their fleeting glances and hears the faintest echo of their soft whispers, and he knows they're talking about him. Up in the mountains there's no dragons to criticize him, anger him. Only the crisp air moving through the trees.

Sometimes Zecho has trouble coming back, and not even the sharp tongue of Zirnava can break him from a trance. Past that tough shell is an aimless and vulnerable dragon, whose only joy is trailing through the hills like a ghost.
