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.

As one might expect from the son of two wild and rambunctious dragons, Royal is the epitome of recklessness. He's loud, careless, and beyond stupid, but he is easily the most active Crimson in his family, probably in the entire region. He's very attached to his brother, Thunderstorm, who probably influences his more lively personality. The two of them are born troublemakers, roughhousing every five seconds and causing unspeakable chaos. The two of them have a knack for destroying things. Literally anything put before them will be nothing but ash in seconds. Royal has a very hatchling-like innocence to him. Like his mother, Brick, he is very naive, but that also makes him a bit more friendly compared to the other Crimscales (his family.) He is anything but malicious. Though rough, he never seeks to hurt or endanger anyone. If he does, it's because it's a part of some game or challenge. He doesn't always know his own strength, which causes many to avoid him. He doesn't seem to notice.
