Frilled Dragons are smaller than most other breeds, but when threatened, they stretch out their wings and frills to appear larger. They generally do not like to fight and prefer hiding to confrontation. Frilled dragons live in small groups and often band together to scare off potential threats. Males also use their frills as a way to attract mates, with those displaying the “best” frills being more likely to breed.

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.

Sairal is a curious dragon. He lives in the forest mazes to the north, guarding the passage of any travelers to the hidden cities that lay on the outskirts of the mountain range. He has lived his whole life guarding the mazes, and is loyal to Quess, the Guardian of Secrets. Aside from the fierce ferocity he shows any unbidden intruders in the mazes, Sairal is a peaceful soul, who loves nothing more than napping in the sunlight that filters occasionally through the tree canopy.

He hardly ever flies, and even when he does, its usually a lazy glide. He seldom emerges from beneath the forest trees, prefering to live his life and fufil his duty as guardian.
